Start here

Screener.in is not missing the point. It is built for a narrower job. That focus is a strength until your own workflow stops being narrow too.

Screener.in has built the most trusted fundamental screening tool for India's equity markets. Its users are there for a reason: deep financial history for NSE and BSE-listed companies, custom ratio formulas, promoter and shareholder tracking, and a screener that understands the specific data points Indian investors care about. If India is the whole job, Screener.in is still the right tool.

This page does not argue otherwise.

The question is whether your workflow is still India-first enough for that to be enough. Because the moment your process now includes U.S. stocks, global macro orientation, crypto, forex, or cross-asset analysis, Screener.in stops being the whole workflow and starts being the India tab in it.

CompoundPulse does not replace Screener.in for Indian fundamentals. It becomes relevant when India is no longer the only market you need to think about in the same session.

Where Screener.in is still the stronger tool

Indian equity fundamentals — best-in-class

Screener.in is the standard tool for Indian equity fundamental research. Ten-plus years of financial history, promoter shareholding patterns, pledge data, custom formula screeners — these are not features CompoundPulse has. If NSE/BSE fundamental analysis is your primary process, Screener.in is still the right tool for exactly that job.

Promoter and shareholder tracking

Indian investors often care deeply about promoter holding trends, pledge ratios, and shareholder structure changes — context that is India-specific and not available in global platforms. Screener.in surfaces this natively. CompoundPulse does not include NSE/BSE market data.

Custom ratio formulas for Indian accounting norms

Screener.in allows users to build custom financial ratios using Indian accounting data. For investors who have built proprietary screens around Indian-specific metrics, that is a genuine switching cost worth acknowledging honestly.

When Screener.in stops covering the whole job

Screener.in has no charting. No crypto. No forex. No global equities. No backtesting. No heatmap. No insider tracking. No economic calendar. For investors who stay entirely within Indian equities, these are not gaps — they are irrelevant.

For investors who also follow U.S. markets, hold Bitcoin alongside Indian stocks, want to understand global macro risk, or want to backtest a strategy before sizing in — Screener.in requires several other tools to fill those gaps. That is when the workflow becomes fragmented.

CompoundPulse covers the global side: U.S. equities (8,000+ stocks, 30+ screener filters), 36+ crypto pairs, 11+ forex pairs, commodity futures, professional charting with 121 indicators, a live canvas heatmap across 7 timeframes, no-code backtesting, and insider trading tracker. For investors who want the full picture across global markets in one platform — and use Screener.in for India — the two tools can work alongside each other.

If India is the whole job, stay with Screener.in. If India is now one part of a broader market workflow, that is where CompoundPulse starts to matter.

You probably should not switch if…

  • → India is 90%+ of what you follow
  • → Promoter and shareholder data is central to your analysis
  • → Your process is mostly fundamental and India-specific
  • → You do not care about crypto, forex, or global equities
  • → Screener.in still covers everything you need to make a decision

Screener.in is not missing the point. It is focused. The question is whether your workflow still is.

The switch only makes sense when…

  • → You now follow U.S. stocks alongside Indian equities
  • → Global macro and cross-asset risk matter to your positions
  • → You want charting, screening, and heatmap in one place
  • → You want to backtest strategies or track insider activity
  • → You do not want to leave the platform to check crypto, forex, or broader market context
  • → India is part of your portfolio, not the whole thing
