NSE plans AI tools and upgrades to improve retail investor services
At Diwali celebrations in India, NSE chief Ashishkumar Chauhan announced new digital tools for the country’s growing retail investor base.
The National Stock Exchange plans upgrades to its app and website, including improved portfolio features, screening tools and analytics.
The exchange is deploying AI to offer richer insights to retail investors and is working with brokers on cybersecurity risks, scams and deepfakes.
Chauhan said India’s economy is expected to grow by more than 7 per cent, which he expects to support equity markets as the new Samvat year begins.
He also said cooling crude prices and a steadier rupee could help bring back foreign investors, after outflows and volatility.
NSE urged investors to favour long-term investing over short-term speculation and unmanaged derivatives, and suggested mutual funds or professional advisers for people unable to follow markets daily.
The exchange is also working with state governments and institutions to bring financial education and market access to smaller towns.
NSE CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan said the exchange is introducing technology upgrades and AI tools to improve services for retail investors.
The upgrades include features for its mobile app and website, covering portfolio management, screening tools and analytics.
Chauhan said NSE is deploying AI to provide retail participants with better analytics, richer information and enhanced insights.
He said the exchange is working with brokers on cybersecurity risks, online financial scams and deepfake videos.
NSE reported serving around 20 to 27 crore accounts and approximately 13.7 to 31.7 crore unique customers through various channels and brokers.
