We're building India's most
powerful financial research platform
Our mission: democratise institutional-grade equity research for every Indian investor. We believe access to great data and great tools should not be a privilege of the wealthy.
The problem we set out to solve
In 2022, our co-founders Vikram and Ananya were frustrated. Despite working in fintech for over a decade, they found themselves unable to quickly answer basic questions about Indian stocks — not because the data didn't exist, but because it was scattered across dozens of tools, hidden behind paywalls, or buried in dense PDFs.
Retail investors had even fewer options. The good tools were built for Bloomberg terminals costing ₹25 lakh a year. The affordable tools lacked depth. Nobody had built the comprehensive, intelligent, beautifully designed platform that Indian investors deserved.
So they built it themselves. Viralays launched in March 2022 with 200 beta users and a simple premise: what if every Indian investor had access to the same quality of research that Motilal Oswal's best analysts use?
Today, Viralays is trusted by 1.2 lakh investors, from first-time SIP investors in tier-2 cities to seasoned portfolio managers at leading AMCs. We are just getting started.

Our values
Investor-first
Every product decision is evaluated through one lens: does this help a retail investor make a better decision? No dark patterns, no misleading signals.
Data integrity
We source directly from NSE, BSE, and SEBI filings. Data quality is non-negotiable — we would rather show nothing than show wrong numbers.
Radical transparency
Our AI models explain their reasoning. You always know why a stock is rated the way it is — no black boxes.
Community-driven
Our best features come from user feedback. We ship updates every two weeks and publish our roadmap publicly.
Continuous improvement
Markets evolve. Our AI models are retrained monthly on fresh data. We track prediction accuracy and publish the results.
Democratising finance
Bloomberg costs ₹25 lakh a year. We believe every Indian investor — not just institutions — deserves professional research tools.
