“You don’t need a finance or fintech background to access Perplexity Finance, nor do you need a subscription. Our premium data is available to everyone for free,” Jeff Grimes, Head of Live Events Product at Perplexity AI, is clear about the value that Perplexity Finance, which now supports an “India-customised experience,” offers to users of the platform in the country.
With the India customisations kicking in, Perplexity Finance users in India can “stay caught up on markets, deep-dive on BSE and NSE stocks, and track Indian company earnings”. Grimes said users can search “Reliance stock” or “What’s Tata’s stock price?” to see live stock information in Perplexity answers across desktop, mobile apps, and mobile web. The Perplexity Finance homepage, on desktop and mobile, offers an overview of the markets, links to specific stocks and cryptocurrencies, the ability to view company financials and historical data, and the ability to track company earnings.

“Much of the information you find in Perplexity Finance exists behind a paywall on other platforms — such as historical price and volume data, natural-language stock screening, and live company earnings. Perplexity makes it available to all users for free,” Grimes underlined the value of the new product. “When you combine premium-quality real-time data with outstanding search and synthesis, investors win — whether they be institutions or individuals,” he said, adding how the product uses “best-in-class AI capabilities” to speed up your financial research, helping you keep up with market news, corporate filings, and new trends.
Finance is one of Perplexity’s fastest-growing query segments, he said, adding that usage of Perplexity Finance has increased 8x since this spring. “Perplexity Finance is built for anyone who wants to follow the markets, whether that be casually checking in on stock prices via a Perplexity search or downloading historical financials as an Excel spreadsheet to create an in-depth model.”
