Recalling the intense weeks leading up to the event, she added, “For weeks, it was all hands on deck preparing for this moment — think lots and lots of coffee. Though nothing beats the feeling of standing there on the floor at NSE as the clock struck 10, madly clapping but just being overwhelmed with sheer joy.”
In a follow-up post, Rao described the pride of working at Groww during such a historic milestone. “When I joined Groww I knew that I would be aboard a rocketship. Little did I know that someday I would be reposed with this incredible honour of witnessing, and even being a small part of, this historic milestone. What a moment, what a team! Feeling nothing but gratitude,” she wrote, sharing pictures from the ceremonies held at the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
Groww also marked the occasion on social media, tweeting, “A milestone in our long journey ahead — honoured to have our market closing ceremony at the BSE,” alongside a video showing the team sounding the gong at the exchange.
