Opinions on Indian stocks and mutual funds Benchmarking India:

Investors in India are eager to benchmark DIY equity portfolios against top mutual funds, and the tool hunt is heating up. Zerodha’s portfolio benchmarking is a popular starting point, but many want to measure against Parag Parikh Funds as well. [1]

Benchmarking today looks like this: • Zerodha’s portfolio benchmarking feature is the go-to for many, with a wish list to pit results against Parag Parikh Funds and other MFs. [1] • Some investors keep a purchase-and-sale ledger and simulate cashflows to compare with indices using Google Finance, hoping to pipe data into Data Studio for visuals. The dream is a direct link from broker data to visualization tools. [1]

Real-time, Bloomberg-like insights? That’s the ticket investors say they’d actually pay for: • Real-time data and analytics tools like Bloomberg Terminal or Capital IQ would justify the price for many. [2] • There’s a clear craving for real-time fundamentals—think PE and PB updates—along with intraday data such as price, volume, futures OI, and options premiums. [2]

Closing thought: the Indian market is primed for integrated benchmarking and Bloomberg-style terminals, with demand for real-time market access continuing to grow across tools and data sources. [1][2]
