🌟 Introduction (Hook):
Last year, my friend Ajay messaged me at 11:45 PM. He had just received his salary and wanted to invest — but didn’t know where or how to start.
“Bhai, mutual fund kaha se kharidu? So many apps. I’m totally confused.”
That night, we downloaded three apps, tried them out, and within a week, Ajay made his first investment of â‚ą1,000.
One year later, not only is he more confident with money — he now helps his colleagues choose the right app too.
This post is for every Ajay out there — a beginner with ambition, but too many choices.
🔍 Why Investment Apps Matter (Especially in India)
With UPI, smartphones, and easy KYC, investing has become as easy as ordering food. But with so many apps available — Groww, Zerodha, ET Money, Kuvera, and more — the confusion is real.
So we tested the top ones and created this honest, beginner-friendly comparison.

👨‍💼 Ajay’s Experience: From Confused to Confident
Ajay started with Groww because:
- He wanted something clean and easy.
- Didn’t want advice, just action.
- Wanted direct mutual funds to avoid commission.
Later, as he became more confident:
- He used INDmoney to track his EPF and gold investments.
- He opened a Zerodha account to learn stock investing (only ₹2,000 invested till now, just testing!).
His current stack:
- Groww for SIPs
- Zerodha for stocks
- INDmoney for tracking all money in one place
🛠️ Quick Guide: Choose Based on Your Need
👉 Just starting? → Groww or Kuvera
👉 Want to invest in stocks & trade too? → Zerodha
👉 Want to track EPF, bank, gold, and all investments? → INDmoney
👉 Want full guidance & goal-based plans? → Scripbox
👉 Want tax saving tips + insurance in one place? → ET Money
🙌 Final Thought: Don’t Wait. Start Small.
Ajay didn’t wait to become an expert. He started with ₹1,000 and curiosity.
Today, he checks his portfolio monthly, has emergency savings, and finally understands what “making money work for you” really means.
“Bro, I never thought investing could be this easy. It’s all about choosing the right app and just starting.”
So, which app will you start with today?
