Groww’s hacks for gain setting it up for pain

Hi Vivek, Thanks for your comment, very interesting point! Usually our design style is such that we try to avoid cluttering the chart with too many numbers. Some people are fine with a scale and an overall takeaway (Like the Zerodha, ICICI Securities example you cited) while others want to know the values for each. Being a fintech story, I think you’re right in looking for numbers - so we’ve updated the charts accordingly! Thanks once again, appreciate the feedback :)
