Executive summary
We asked four AI answer engines the 25 questions an Indian investor asks when choosing a broker and opening an account. The run named just 30 organizations and cited 375 sources across 137 domains.
Zerodha leads on visibility at 65.6 percent and is named in 21 of the 25 questions. Groww follows at 32.0 percent and Angel One at 31.2 percent. Nobody else reaches half of Zerodha's score.
The sharper finding is that the answer set is out of date. Groww has been India's largest broker by active clients since October 2023 and now has roughly twice Zerodha's client base, yet trails it two to one on visibility.
Top 10 brands by AI visibility score
| # | Brand | Type | Visibility | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Zerodha | Broking platform | 65.6% | |
| 2 | Groww | Broking platform | 32.0% | |
| 3 | Angel One | Broking platform | 31.2% | |
| 4 | Upstox | Broking platform | 20.8% | |
| 5 | SEBI | Regulator | 20.0% | |
| 6 | ICICI Direct | Bank owned broker | 16.8% | |
| 7 | HDFC Sky | Bank owned broker | 9.6% | |
| 8 | CDSL | Depository | 9.6% | |
| 9 | NSDL | Depository | 8.8% | |
| 10 | Cleartax | Tax filing tool | 8.0% |
The visibility score counts where each entity is named. A first place mention earns a full point, fifth place earns a fifth of one, and the total is divided by all 25 questions. Every entity named is ranked.
Type shows what kind of organization each entity is. AI engines name exchanges, depositories, the regulator, tax tools and a dispute portal alongside brokers. All of them are ranked here, because all of them take up space in the answer.
Top 25 cited domains
These 25 domains are the most cited across all 25 questions. The full run produced 375 citations from 137 domains. The single most cited domain is a broker's support site, which outranks every marketing page in the market.

Categories and why we chose them
We chose five categories that follow an investor from picking a broker to closing the account. Each one drives real search demand, carries commercial value, and forces an engine to name specific companies rather than give general advice.
| # | Category name | Reason for selection |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Choosing a broker | This is the question the whole market is fighting over. A broker wins a client once and keeps them for years, so ranking on it is worth more than ranking on anything else in the report. |
| 2 | Opening an account | Opening an account is the moment a search turns into a customer. The questions are practical and have correct answers, so whoever explains the steps clearly tends to be the one the reader signs up with. |
| 3 | Charges and taxes | Cost is what discount broking sells, so every broker publishes a charges page. These questions test whether the engines read those pages or the comparison sites that reprint them, often with prices that are out of date. |
| 4 | Placing trades | Once the account exists the questions become how to use it. These are ordinary how to questions, and the answers decide which platform a nervous first time buyer trusts enough to press the button on. |
| 5 | Safety and problems | Nobody searches this until something worries them, and then it is the only thing they search. The answers decide whether a reader stays invested, and they are the questions a broker least wants to answer itself. |
Category 1 of 5
Choosing a broker
Five questions about picking one: the best app overall, the two biggest names head to head, who is cheapest, whether a discount broker is safe, and how discount and full service brokers differ.

Which is the best trading app in India?
Zerodha leads a question about the best app while ranking second by active clients. The cited pages are almost all affiliate lists, and the one that measures anything is an exchange data table sitting at the bottom.

Question 1.2
Which is better, Zerodha or Groww?
The engines answer a two way comparison with comparison sites, not with either company. Neither broker ranks a page of its own in the top fifteen sources, so the whole answer is written by third parties.

Question 1.3
Which broker has the lowest brokerage in India?
Pricing changes often and the sources here mostly do not. Comparison tables dominate, several carry prices the brokers have since changed, and the only current pages are the brokers' own, which rank low.

Question 1.4
Is a discount broker safe in India?

Question 1.5
What is the difference between a discount broker and a full service broker?
A definition question answered mostly by full service brokers explaining why they cost more. The two models now differ less than the pages suggest, since the large discount brokers sell advice and research too.

Question 2.3
How long does it take to open a demat account?
The honest answer is that no rule sets a deadline. Brokers compete on speed instead, so the pages that rank are the ones promising the shortest time rather than the ones explaining what actually causes delays.

Question 2.4
Can I have more than one demat account in India?
The regulator ranks third on a question whose answer is a rule. An investor may hold as many demat accounts as they like, but only one with each depository participant, and every account carries its own annual charge.

Question 2.5
Is there a minimum amount needed to start investing in shares?
There is no minimum, and one share is enough. The page is answered entirely by brokers, each of which has a commercial reason to say the number is small, and on this question they are right.

Question 3.1
What are the charges for buying and selling shares in India?
Zerodha's own charges page ranks fifth on a question about charges, behind a tax filing site, a broker's course page and two bank explainers. Brokerage is capped by exchange rules at a level no discount broker comes near, so the cap does nothing.

Question 3.2
What are DP charges in a demat account?
Both depositories rank here, which is fair, because the charge starts with them. The broker adds its own margin on top, so the amount an investor pays on a sale varies widely between platforms.

Question 3.3
What is STT on share trading?
A tax filing tool leads a question about a tax. The rates on futures and options went up again in April 2026, while delivery and intraday were left alone, and several cited pages still carry the older numbers.

Question 3.4

The tax department's own page ranks seventh, behind two tax filing companies and four brokers. Long term gains on shares are taxed at 12.5 percent above an annual exemption, and intraday profit is taxed at slab rates instead.

Question 3.5
What are the hidden charges in a demat account?
The word hidden is doing the work here. Every charge on these pages is published somewhere, usually in a table nobody reads, and the pages that rank are the ones that collect them in one place.

Question 4.2
What is the difference between a market order and a limit order?
Two foreign sources rank on a question about Indian order types, including an American regulator's education page. The mechanics are the same everywhere, so the engines reach for whoever explained them most plainly.

Question 4.3
How do I apply for an IPO online in India?
The regulator ranks second, which is rare in this report. Public issue applications run through a bank blocked payment, so the process is a rule and the brokers are only the front door.

Question 4.4
What is intraday trading and how does it work in India?
Brokerage calculators rank as sources here and on the charges page. Intraday profit is business income taxed at slab rates rather than as a capital gain, and that is explained on the tax pages rather than the trading ones.

Question 4.5
When does money from selling shares reach my bank account?
The clearest gap between what is true and what is published. Settlement is next day, but the money only reaches a bank account after a separate withdrawal request, and several cited pages still describe the older two day cycle.

Safety and problems
Five questions about what can go wrong: whether the money is safe, what happens if the broker fails, how to complain, how to close an account, and what happens to the account after a death.

Question 5.1
Is my money safe with an online broker in India?
Both depositories and the regulator rank, and a broker's support pages supply four of the fifteen sources. Shares sit at the depository in the investor's own name, which is why the honest answer here is yes.

Question 5.2
What happens to my shares if my broker shuts down?
A failed broker ranks first as an entity, which happens on no other page. The exchange protection fund pays up to a ceiling per investor, and it covers a broker default rather than money lost in the market.

Question 5.3
How do I file a complaint against a stock broker in India?
Four of the five named entities are regulators, exchanges or a dispute portal, and no broker ranks above fifth. Complaints go to the regulator's portal first and to the online dispute service only afterwards.

Question 5.4
How do I close a demat account in India?
A depository ranks second on a process it actually controls. Closing the account costs nothing, but the holdings have to be moved out first, and that is the part which catches people out and delays the request.

Question 5.5
What happens to my demat account after death?
A depository leads, which is right, because transmission is a depository process rather than a broker one. Nomination rules changed in September 2026, and a new single holder account now needs a nominee or a signed opt out.
