Very bad experience today… I was continuously trying to exit my position but due to Groww app issue, it was not happening on time, which caused my running profit of 4k to drop down to 1700 rs. I tried calling customer care but received no answer.

Groww has been very disappointing. The withdrawal process is painfully slow and customer service is almost nonexistent. I feel like I’ve made a big mistake by choosing this platform for my investments.
