Empowering Indian Investors with New-Age Analytical Tools
Think of a trader standing on the edge of making a pivotal decision, surrounded by marked data in stacks of papers, furrowed in the moment of scrutiny, with hopes resting on luck. While this scenario was once common, it is now faded in history. In the contemporary, dynamic landscape of finance a different and efficient reality prevails that is shaped by new-age analytical tools and the prowess of data-driven insights. Today, investors possess more empowered capabilities to navigate the markets with ease and confidence. The importance of early investment can never be overstated. Through this article, the journey of the trading realm is embarked upon, shedding light on how analytical tools have enhanced the trading landscape for the customers’ benefit.
Individuals who embarked on their trading prior to January 2000 have had to sift through piles of paperwork, navigate complex market trends, and struggle with time constraints in making critical decisions. However, since then, the industry has undergone a radical change. The role of analytical tools has emerged as a driving factor behind this transformation, over time, empowering investors with data-driven insights to enable more informed investment decisions. These tools have continued to evolve in equipping traders with real-time market insights, predictive analytics, and the capability to identify potential market trends. Particularly, Indian investors have encompassed digital tools that provide heightened precision and efficiency.
The emergence of New-Age Stock Analytic Tools: Enhancing Research
Novice investors and day traders go through the common struggle of dealing with overwhelming data and uncertainty in decision-making. However, with new-age stock analytic tools on specialised trading platforms these problems can be solved. These tools simplify the research process and present crucial insights in a user-friendly manner. Through these tools, traders can evaluate a company’s fundamentals, gauge its growth potential, and compare it with industry peers effortlessly. All tools – whether it’s fundamental tools like Earnings per Share (EPS) for per-share profitability, Return on Equity to measure profitability on shareholder investments, Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for average stock prices, Candlestick charts for visualizing open, high, low, and closing prices, or Aroon Indicators for measuring stock trends – are at the trader’s fingertips.
Modern-day investors are educated, equipped, empowered, and have an enhanced intuition and desire for a data-rich experience at their fingertips. They are equipped with comprehensive data analytics that seamlessly collates extensive historical market data. The outcome is an accurate and actionable view of market trends, risk assessments, and prospective investments. Investors can execute well-informed decisions with a level of assurance, now equipped with insights derived from data. These tools are personal aids to investors that help in effectively handling the lengthy task of narrowing down the diverse array of stocks into a list of promising investment candidates.
Observing the broader picture, technology has made a significant influence on retail participation in the stock market. Retail participation surged by 45% in the fiscal year 2021 on the National Stock Exchange, due to the influence of technology that has democratized the capital market. This marks a significant milestone with retail investors contributing to more than 40% of the total trading turnover within a financial period for the first time. This upswing is also a reflection of the consistent growth in the adoption of modern analytic tools offered by trading platforms in India.
Revolutionising Stock Analysis with AI-Powered Insights
The uncluttered interface and user-friendly navigation of a trading platform help traders in focusing on what is of utmost importance – arriving at well-informed investment decisions. However, the game changes when AI is integrated into the platform’s algorithms. Instances, where you purchase a stock with high hopes only to witness its decline afterward, are not pleasant experiences. With the inclusion of AI, the platform becomes adept in assessing historical market data, recognising patterns, and then forecasting potential cost shifts with an impressive amount of accuracy.
Shoonya’s trading platform, an industry-first AI-driven stock analysis tool, delves into years of historical data, assessing the company’s performance during similar circumstances. The tool, subsequently, provides you with a profitability score, indicating the likelihood of the stock’s price rising within a specific timeframe. This insight makes you equipped to make a well-informed decision that aligns with you risk tolerance and investment goals. These tools empower traders with an edge over others who rely on conventional digital tools.
Conclusion
The Indian stock market landscape has undergone a significant transformation with analytical tools and technological developments that empower investors like never before. Trading platforms, such as Shoonya, have redefined decision-making by harnessing the potential of AI-driven analytics, crafting a world where traders thrive on data-driven insights. As the market continues to evolve and grow, these platforms persistently strive to enhance customer experience by blending human expertise with new-age tools. Embarking on this transformation journey will unlock boundless opportunities, guiding investors on a path to growth and profitability.
Now is the opportunity to grasp these advancements, navigate the markets with wisdom and innovation, and secure a brighter future with trading and investing – The Right Way!

82% of professionals are concerned about job redundancy due to emerging technologies: Hero Vired Report
· A significant 78% of respondents recognize upskilling as a proactive strategy to navigate the rapidly changing work landscape
· A significant 81% of respondents who have upskilled in the last 1 year, utilised online courses in their learning journey
· 43.5% of professionals believe that the need for upskilling is as frequent as every 6 months
· 75% women who upskilled, found it easier to get back to work post a career break
Bengaluru, 21 December 2023, National: A recent report on ‘Future of the Skills Landscape 2024’ by Hero Vired, a leading learntech startup from the Hero Group, revealed a notable trend among professionals and graduates. Drawing insights from a comprehensive survey that reached out to 2 lakh individuals, consisting of students, working professionals, and academicians; a significant 82% of working professionals expressed concerns over potential job redundancy due to emerging technologies. This finding underscores the unease within the workforce about the impact of evolving technologies on job security.
Interestingly, despite these concerns, 78% of working professionals recognize upskilling as a proactive strategy to navigate the rapidly changing work landscape. This acknowledgment reflects a growing awareness of the need for continuous learning and skill enhancement to stay relevant in today’s dynamic job market.
The report delves into the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping career trajectories. 39% of respondents believe that knowledge of AI significantly influences career growth opportunities within their current organisations, and a significant 43% express dissatisfaction with the lack of adequate AI training provided by their employers. This highlights a clear gap between perceived importance and the actual provision of training in this critical technology domain.
Commenting on the findings, Akshay Munjal, Founder and CEO, Hero Vired said, “The report captures the sentiments and priorities of professionals and graduates amidst a dynamic and volatile job landscape. It illuminates concerns tied to technological changes and the urgency to upskill in order to address these challenges. Also, as professionals and companies alike are placing the long-due focus on sustainability, fitness, and mental health; job roles in these sectors will be in demand. Through our platform, we aim to address the skill gaps prevalent in the country through new-age courses that aim to make professionals future-ready for the 21st century and Industry 4.0.”
The emergence and impact of generative AI, exemplified by the late 2022 launch of ChatGPT, have sparked discussions in corporate boardrooms and households alike. Notably, 90% of respondents predict AI to be the most in-demand skill in the next five years, out of which a striking 80% anticipate AI to be the highest-paying job within the same timeframe.
The report also sheds light on the frequency and preferences for upskilling. Out of the working professionals in the age group of 18-55, both from metro and non-metro cities, 43.5% of them express the need for upskilling every 6 months. 83% of the respondents believe that upskilling, particularly in AI, will enhance their job opportunities. Moreover, with ed-tech platforms revolutionising education and enhancing accessibility, a significant 81% of respondents who upskilled themselves last year, opted for online courses in their learning journeys.
“It cites concerns tied to rapid technological advancements while underscoring the crucial role of upskilling in addressing these challenges. Upskilling will prepare future leaders to better navigate through the challenges and assist them when using technology to their advantage.” Akshay Munjal added.
Beyond the technology domain, the report also identifies the top three non-technology sector jobs expected to be in high demand: digital marketing, green jobs, and mental health coaching. As industries prioritise environmental responsibility, demand grows for professionals with expertise in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), corporate governance, and eco-friendly technologies. This diversification suggests a broader recognition of the evolving nature of skills required across various sectors.
Respondents who were upskilled with hard skills 6 months ago highlighted the importance of equally focusing on soft skills as well. Beyond technical expertise, employers value communication, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. As automation advances, the human touch embodied in soft skills distinguishes professionals in an evolving workplace. This dual emphasis reflects an understanding of the need for a well-rounded skill set in today’s competitive job market.
In the rapidly evolving world, anyone returning from a career break will face an obsolescence of skills. This is even more concerning for women, as a 6-month maternity leave, for instance, is bound to make most women feel inadequate, amidst a few gender-specific social stereotypes that still exist. However, the report indicated that 75% of women, who upskilled, found it easier to get back to work post a career break, thus signalling a ray of hope for them.
In essence, as individuals and organisations adapt to the evolving demands of the professional landscape, Hero Vired’s report serves as a valuable resource for understanding the dynamics of the contemporary job market. As an emerging learntech platform, it is committed to shaping a workforce that is not just future-ready but at the forefront of innovation and technological prowess.
