You, International Stock Mogul? You Betcha! (A Guide to Using Groww for Those Who Can't Resist a Foreign Fling)
Let's face it, the Indian stock market is great - but sometimes you just gotta diversify your portfolio, right? Maybe you have a soft spot for Elon Musk's antics and want a piece of the Tesla action. Or perhaps you fancy yourself a connoisseur of French cheese and dream of owning a sliver of Danone. Whatever your international investing fancy, Groww has your back, my friend.
But hold on there, buckaroo, before you swan dive into the world of international stocks, this guide will equip you with the knowledge to navigate Groww's US stock feature like a seasoned pro (or at least someone who doesn't accidentally buy shares in a company that manufactures designer socks for poodles).
Step 1: Activating Your Inner International Investor
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.![]()
Think of this as your James Bond transformation scene. No tuxedo required, though a killer instinct for spotting good investments might be helpful. Activating your US stock account on Groww is a breeze and can be done in under 5 minutes. That's faster than you can say "Mississippi" (unless you're practicing for a ventriloquist act, in which case, more power to you).
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.![]()

Step 2: Funding Your Foreign Fun
This is where things get a tad bit different. You'll need to add some moolah to your Groww USD balance. Imagine it's a special suitcase packed with rupees that magically transforms into dollars when it lands in the US of A. Pretty cool, huh? To fill this fancy suitcase, you'll need to do a bank transfer to a US-based beneficiary. Don't worry, Groww will walk you through it like a financial sherpa guiding you up Mount Everest (without the altitude sickness, hopefully).
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.![]()
Step 3: Showtime! Buying Those International Stocks
Now for the fun part: browsing for stocks like you're picking out souvenirs on a shopping spree! Head over to the US Stocks section on Groww and get ready to be dazzled by a whole new world of investment opportunities.

Bonus Feature: Fractional Shares - Invest Like a Boss!
Here's the cherry on top: Groww allows you to buy fractional shares. That means you don't need to shell out enough to buy a whole share of Apple (unless you're secretly Steve Jobs's lost heir). Think of it as buying a tiny slice of that delicious Apple pie - you still get a taste of the action without needing a bank loan.
Remember, this is just a starting point, folks! Before you go all-in on that company that manufactures those self-cleaning yoga mats (because, let's be honest, we all need those), do your research. Read up on the companies, understand the markets, and don't be afraid to ask questions (that's what the internet and Groww's awesome customer service are for).
So there you have it! With a little know-how and a dash of adventurous spirit, you can be an international stock investor extraordinaire. Now get out there and conquer the global markets, one fractional share at a time!
