Zibika (www.zibika.com), one of India’s fastest-growing Online Insurance and Personal Finance Comparison portals has launched the Zibika Stockbot – the simplest way to check stock prices on the BSE and NSE. A first of its kind innovation, the Chatbot allows users to fetch share prices during and after trading hours by means of simple ‘chat messages’ on GoogleTalk. For example, to check for Sensex levels, all a user has to do is add the email address, market.zibika@gmail.com to their GoogleTalk friend’s list and type ‘Sensex’ as a chat message. Individual stock prices on the BSE/NSE can also be fetched by means of simple messages, further details of which are given here : http://www.zibika.com/markets/

Co-Founder & Director, Kaushik Mukherjee during the launch noted, “For many retail traders, it is a painful task to keep visiting a website and refresh a page multiple times to check for stock prices. The Zibika StockBot is clean, quick and lets users check scrip values within seconds.” It is no wonder that the popularity of this portal site has seen a jump of almost 100% since the launch of the StockBot. As of today, the portal is in its beta stage and the team has plans of launching a second version of the Stockbot after accumulating user feedback over a period of 60 days.

Earlier this year, Zibika was one of the 14 Internet companies shortlisted for the final round of the Economic Times Power of Ideas event. The team is currently in talks with investors for raising a second round of capital in the near future.
