StockGro and Stoxo Enhance Market Literacy
Ajay Lakhotia lost a lot of money in the 2008 market crash because he didn't understand the market well.
He decided to learn more and started a program to help others avoid the same mistakes.
He created StockGro, a platform where people can learn about investing without risking real money.
It has helped many students and has experts to guide them.
Later, he noticed that people needed a reliable place to get answers about the market.
So, he created Stoxo, an AI-powered tool that gives verified information about stocks and the market.
Both StockGro and Stoxo aim to make investing easier and more understandable for everyone.
Ajay Lakhotia lost ₹80 lakh in the 2008 market crash, prompting him to learn more about investing.
He launched StockGro in 2020 as a social investment learning platform to help people learn by doing.
StockGro has connected with over 1,500 colleges and hosted more than 4,100 trading and investment learning events.
Lakhotia identified a gap in reliable market research, leading to the launch of Stoxo in 2025, an AI-powered stock market research engine.
Stoxo provides contextual responses grounded in verified data and analyst insight, making institutional-style research accessible to everyday investors.
