Perplexity, an Artificial Intelligence-powered platform, is now offering live data from the Indian equity market using its search platform. Users can access share prices in real-time. This live data will be shared with both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange through mobile web, desktop, and in-app interfaces.
What is more interesting in this new feature is that it will be more convenient to use for everyone without any prior knowledge of stocks or technical aspects of it. In fact, users can communicate via plain text as they are working on an NLP model that can easily translate even a flawed text and answer according to it. Thus, the platform further offers details about Indian stocks, upcoming earnings, and patterns in the stock market, cryptocurrencies, and possible market hype or losses.
The platform further offers dashboards with charts about prices, summaries of recent news about changes in Indian stocks, links to company filings, and historical data of the company to analyze its movement/growth. According to perplexity, other features like custom stock screening and price alerts are in the developmental phase.
Empowering Platforms: The AI Finance Movement in India
Perplexity's rapid expansion in India is creating alignment with the growing adoption of AI with digitalization under the MAKE IN INDIA project, further creating opportunities for new platforms and offering fertile ground for users and emerging AI-based start-ups. Leading Indian banks like ICICI, SBI, and HDFC have already adopted AI chatbots to handle queries of millions of consumers. iPal of ICICI is solely answering nearly 6 million queries with maximum accuracy, highlighting how Indian banks are embracing AI-based tools to ease out finance-related problems with less time and effort.
Perplexity's move to offer real-time Indian market data at no cost represents a strategic decision to gain the traction of millions of users by offering share market data with subtle hints and changes, which are typically hidden behind expensive paywalls. For example, the collaboration of Perplexity with Bharti Airtel for an AI platform is about to reach 360 million subscribers. In a nutshell, the company is challenging traditional financial data settings and barriers related to it by allowing users to access premium financial data.
