Which one should I choose? I am considering the fact that few months from now, I will have appraisals also.

Note: Kotak Offer in discussion, interview cleared

Note: Also, can you pls help me with the compensation bracket generally these companies offer and how much I can stretch them?? Considering in all the companies the interviews were almost flawless.

Don't choose Groww, for sure. Pethatic work culture there. If I were in your place I would've gone with Razorpay
