- Perplexity launches live transcripts of quarterly earnings calls for Indian companies
- Feature gives retail investors real-time access to management insights
- Launch comes as India becomes the world’s fourth-largest equity market
- Builds on Perplexity’s existing finance dashboard with broader market tools
Artificial intelligence startup Perplexity has introduced a feature that could reshape the way Indian investors track companies.
The platform will now provide live transcripts of quarterly earnings calls for publicly listed firms in India, giving both retail and institutional investors real-time access to management commentary, financial disclosures, and analyst interactions.
Earnings calls are where company executives go beyond balance sheets and official filings. They share details on strategy, discuss upcoming plans, and respond to tough questions from analysts. Many times, these calls reveal nuances about a firm’s health that don’t appear in the formal quarterly report.
Until now, Indian investors had limited access to such conversations, often relying on patchy notes or delayed summaries. With Perplexity’s new service, that gap may finally close.
Closing an Information Gap
Announcing the update, Perplexity’s CEO Aravind Srinivas said the aim is to make financial information more transparent and accessible. Investors often find earnings reports dense and difficult to interpret, not to mention filled with industry jargon.
Live transcripts, presented in clear and searchable text, could help investors follow along at their own pace instead of struggling with the speed of spoken calls.
The feature also opens the door for retail investors, many of whom lack access to the premium analyst notes that large institutions depend on. By leveling the playing field, Perplexity hopes to bring a wider group of market participants into the fold.
India’s Market at a High Point
The launch comes at a time when India’s financial markets are drawing global attention. Earlier this year, India overtook Hong Kong to become the world’s fourth-largest equity market.
The milestone was driven by surging retail participation, with millions of first-time investors joining trading platforms, and by a wave of foreign interest in Indian firms across sectors.
For this expanding investor base, quick and reliable access to company insights has become essential. Having transcripts of management calls available in real time gives investors the ability to act swiftly on information that could influence stock prices.
More Than Just Transcripts
The transcripts build on Perplexity’s existing finance dashboard, which already serves as a one-stop platform for market tracking.
Users can access stock exchange charts, sector performance data, top-performing stock lists, personalized watchlists, cryptocurrency updates, and a calendar of upcoming corporate calls.
With the new transcripts added to the mix, the dashboard strengthens its position as a comprehensive tool for investors who want both breadth and depth of information.
Democratizing Financial Data
Financial information has often been locked behind paywalls, available primarily to large brokerage houses and institutional investors. For smaller investors, staying on top of quarterly earnings meant either waiting for media summaries or trying to parse through complicated PDF reports.
Perplexity’s live transcripts could change that dynamic. By breaking down complex discussions into accessible text, the feature ensures that financial knowledge is not limited to experts. It offers clarity where jargon once clouded understanding, and speed where delays once ruled.
