However, the financial details of the investment was not revealed. Last year in April, Groww raised USD 83 million as a part of its Series D round led by Tiger Global. The financing round raised the valuation of the firm to little of USD 1 billion. In October, it raised additional $251 million in its Series E funding led by IconiQ Growth, almost tripling its valuation to $3 billion. Groww had joined the coveted unicorn club of privately held companies with an over $1 billion valuation in April last year. Nadella took over as CEO of Microsoft in 2014 from Steve Ballmer. He was also appointed as chairman of the company in June last year.
