Social investment and stock market advisory platform StockGro raised Rs 50 crore ($5.7 million) in debt funding from its existing investor Trifecta Capital.

This debt funding follows the Rs 205 crore ($25 million) raised in two tranches in January 2024 from Hindustan Media Ventures and Trifecta Capital.

According to filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), StockGro’s board approved the issuance of 500 Series B non-convertible debentures at a face value of Rs 10 lakh each, raising Rs 50 crore from Trifecta Capital.

Founded in 2020 by former venture capitalist Ajay Lakhotia, the Bengaluru-based StockGro is a fintech platform that simplifies stock market investing through SEBI-registered advisors, offering investment advisory, portfolio management, and educational resources to help users navigate the market.

According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, the BITCRAFT Ventures-backed company raised over $50 million in both debt and equity, including its $32 million Series A round raised in January 2022.

While the company is yet to file its FY25 numbers, its revenue from operations fell 34% to Rs 86.5 crore in FY24 from Rs 131 crore in FY23. During the same period, losses surged 84% to Rs 101 crore.
