Moneycontrol

Launched in late 1999, just as the dotcom bubble was about to burst and shake both the financial markets and the emerging internet, we faced a challenging start. However, it was our deep passion and strong belief that kept us moving forward. Our goal was clear: to become the leading source of financial information online in our country, and we believed we could positively impact people's financial lives. Since our inception, we have closely followed the evolution of the Indian economy. Over the years, we have transformed from a basic financial portal providing end-of-day stock prices to a comprehensive platform that is now considered one of India's largest repositories of news (both text and video), analysis, investment data and tools across various asset classes, personal finance resources, and business insights.
