Groww, the online trading platform, recently faced significant technical issues that led to substantial and erroneous increases in users' investment values. Some users reported seeing their investments, such as Rs 1,000, incorrectly displayed as Rs 1,00,000, causing confusion and concern among investors.
The glitch resulted in some users' profits appearing to jump by more than 10,000%, temporarily making them millionaires.
The issue came to light when multiple users took to social media to report the discrepancies. Groww acknowledged the problem and stated, "Some of our users observed discrepancy in stock prices. This was a temporary issue and is now resolved."

Saw this wild Rs 2.8L spike and sold thinking I struck gold—turns out it was just a bug.
