Background
Investing is complicated, but it doesn’t have to be—guiding beginners with clarity and confidence.
Groww, an India-based investment platform, sought to make investing accessible for beginners. While participating in Y Combinator and preparing for Investor Day, Groww faced challenges with user drop-offs during onboarding and low conversions to active investors. This redesign ultimately helped Groww secure Series A funding from Sequoia, propelling their growth and market position.

Problem
Users drop off during onboarding due to a cumbersome process, and those who complete it often lack the guidance to confidently make their first investment.
Solution
Simplified Investing for Beginners
The redesigned onboarding and first-time user experience (FTUE) for Groww was tailored to reduce friction, provide clarity, and build confidence for users starting their investment journey. By addressing key pain points in the sign-up process and rethinking the app’s structure, we empowered users to complete onboarding seamlessly and feel prepared to make their first investments.
