Social investing and stock market advisory platform StockGro is in advanced discussions to raise up to $15 million in its pre-Series C funding round, according to sources familiar with the development. Saudi Arabia’s largest insurance company, Tawuniya, is expected to lead the round, with final terms currently being negotiated. The investment is likely to fall within the $10–15 million range, signaling continued investor interest in India’s growing retail investing ecosystem.
Fresh Funding Follows Recent Series B1 Round
The potential fundraise comes shortly after StockGro secured $13 million in its Series B1 round in January 2026 from Bitkraft Ventures. Earlier, the company raised $17 million in its Series B round led by Param Capital. With this upcoming round, StockGro is expected to further strengthen its product ecosystem, expand its research capabilities, and scale user engagement across its platform.
Founded in 2020 by Ajay Lakhotia, StockGro offers a community-driven investing platform combining trading tools, expert insights, and AI-powered research. The company recently launched Stoxo, its proprietary research platform, providing ready-to-use investment analysis to its growing user base of over 35 million users.
