may have set the stage for a significant collaboration between his brokerage firm and

Comet finance
page?' Perplexity CEO
Aravind Srinivas
then tagged Kamath, asking simply, 'Should we?' Kamath's swift reply was clear: 'Absolutely, setting up a call for Monday…'

What is Comet?
Comet is an AI-native browser launched by Perplexity in July this year. It combines traditional web browsing with real-time AI assistance that can read, summarise and act on live data. This makes it well-suited for tracking
financial markets
. According to Perplexity's website, 'Comet transforms entire browsing sessions into single, seamless interactions, collapsing complex workflows into fluid conversations.'
Currently, Comet is available to Perplexity Max customers on an invite-only basis. 'Invite-only access will roll out slowly to our waitlist over the summer. New users will also receive a limited number of invites to share,' the company said in July.

Why this collaboration makes sense
Zerodha is India's largest
stock brokerage
platform, boasting over 12 million active clients. Embedding live
Indian stock market
data into Comet's interface could significantly increase Zerodha's visibility. It would place trusted market information in front of a global, tech-savvy audience, directly inside a browser that combines search with AI-powered insights.
For Perplexity, this collaboration would be a major step towards its goal of transforming traditional browser search into an 'answer engine' experience, providing accurate, cited answers instantly. Founded in 2022, Perplexity has quickly grown into an $18 billion company backed by tech leaders like Jeff Bezos, Nvidia, and AI experts from Google and Meta. Its platform already handles over a billion monthly queries and has distribution partnerships with Motorola and Airtel.
What this could mean for investors
If the collaboration moves ahead, investors could soon access Indian stock market data seamlessly within Comet. This would eliminate the need to juggle multiple tabs or platforms, offering real-time updates and summaries powered by AI. Combining Zerodha's market data with Perplexity's AI capabilities could change how market information is consumed, making it more accessible and easier to act upon.
Neither Kamath nor Srinivas have confirmed a deal, but the Monday call will be crucial. Should the talks succeed, the two companies could soon announce a partnership that blends finance and AI innovation in a unique way.
For now, all eyes will be on that call. This collaboration could redefine the way investors interact with market data — bringing together one of India's biggest brokerages with one of the fastest-growing AI companies.

Kalyan Chaubey adds twist to ISL return plans: ‘Leave no stone unturned', but timeline still under cloud
The future of Indian football has been placed in great jeopardy in recent weeks, with the domestic season suspended as the All India Football Federation races to try and renew the investment and marketing contracts signed during the Indian Super League's inception in 2010. Kalyan Chaubey during a press conference for the AIFF.(HT_PRINT) However, with plenty of fears surrounding the state of Indian football, AIFF president Kalyan Chaubey finally had some good news to share. In a conversation with Revssportz, Chaubey revealed that positive progress has been made, and provided a rough timeline for when some concrete movement might be seen. 'Detailed discussions took place about every aspect, which comprised of five major points,' explained Chaubey. 'I would like to infer that ISL should happen and I am hopeful about that.' 'Major issues are that the marketing [deals] that got signed in 2010 have to be renewed in 2025 and another constitutional case from 2017 is about to get its judgement in 2025 – these two coinciding has given rise to the uncertainty of the league,' explained Chaubey regarding the roadblocks. '2.5 to 3 months to resolve…' 'In spite of these hurdles, India being a country where football is so popular, I would say AIFF would leave no stone unturned to take measures for making this league possible,' he said. Further, he went on to state that there is a window in mind for the ISL, with an attempt being made to bring football to the country while that process takes place. 'As an alternative, we are thinking if we can bring the Super Cup ahead of ISL, which usually takes place after the (ISL) season,' he explained. 'So, in case these matters take time to resolve, which is approximately two and a half to three months, then we can still have the league till 31st of May which is usually the end of the season.' The ISL is currently suspended, which in conjunction with the national men's team's poor run of form has caused a crisis of confidence in the workings of the AIFF and domestic football. However, when quizzed about how to rectify these issues, Chaubey remained staunch that investment and a long-term roadmap are integral. 'The league's marketing rights are getting over this year, and for overall growth, investors are required, a long-term development plan and a clarity for the next 15-20 years is required,' concluded the AIFF president.

Bridge under construction collapses in Koyilandy
A bridge under construction with financial support from the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) at Thorayi Kadavu near Koyilandy in Kozhikode collapsed on Thursday (August 14, 2025). Labourers present at the site had a narrow escape after a concrete beam in the middle section gave way in the afternoon. Residents who rushed to the spot staged a protest against the Malappuram-based contracting firm P.M.R. Constructions and demanded a comprehensive investigation into the incident. They alleged laxity on the part of Public Works department officials in checking the quality and quantity of materials used in the construction. Senior Revenue and Public Works department officials, along with local administrators, reached the spot for field-level inspections. They said an investigation was under way on the instructions of Public Works Minister P.A. Mohamed Riyas, and the report would be available soon. The government had sanctioned ₹23.82 crore for constructing the 265-metre-long bridge across the Akalappuzha at Thorayi Kadavu. Work on the multi-crore project began in August 2023. The bridge is expected to connect the Balussery and Koyilandy Assembly constituencies, offering a major advantage to residents. Villagers from Atholi and Chemanchery grama panchayats, who currently depend on boat services to cross the river, had been eagerly awaiting the speedy completion of the project.
