Cloud data grows faster than any security team can watch. Groww, one of India’s fastest-growing investment platforms, found that out firsthand. On October 22, 2026, Bengaluru-based Matters.AI announced that its “AI Security Engineer” platform now protects more than 100 petabytes of Groww’s distributed cloud data.
The Problem Groww Faced
As Groww expanded, its data spread across more business units and cloud environments than people could track manually. That created a familiar pattern for scaling companies: patchy visibility, alert volumes that outpaced triage capacity, and audits that became recurring fire drills.

Matters.AI: The Results
| Metric | Reported Result |
|---|---|
| Data secured | 100+ petabytes |
| Critical risks resolved without analysts | 90%+ |
| Typical resolution time | About four minutes |
| Mean time to detect unauthorized exposure | Under one minute |
| Manual compliance and audit effort | Down by 80%+ |
| Production performance impact | None measurable |
All figures are company-reported.
How It Works?
Matters.AI runs as an autonomous system inside Groww’s environment. Instead of just flagging issues, it sees across data surfaces, understands the context and acts. High-confidence alerts go straight into automated remediation paths rather than a human queue.
Key outcomes include:
- Unified guardrails: A phased rollout brought all 100+ petabytes under one protective layer.
- Shadow data found: The platform surfaced previously unknown data assets across dozens of core infrastructure projects.
- Audit-ready by default: Automated classification and continuous evidence generation replaced manual compliance drills.
An Important Caveat
The 90% figure covers a defined class of high-confidence critical risks, not all security work. The goal is to free Groww’s team to focus on the judgment calls that truly need a person.
What Leaders Said?
Groww CISO Prajal Kulkarni said the platform removed visibility blind spots and let the company scale its security at the speed of business. Matters.AI CEO Keshava Murthy described it as letting a lean team do what once took “an army.”
Why It Matters?
For fintech and other data-heavy businesses, the takeaway is clear: if autonomous remediation holds up at this scale, companies may grow without growing security headcount at the same pace. It is still a vendor-and-customer announcement, so independent validation will matter over time.
