The feed covers live action from BSE, NSE and also acts as a platform for companies to give their public results, growth rate, net profit etc.

According to reports from E&Y and AC Nielsen, online video advertisement market is set to grow exponentially at 300 percent in 2009 and has 85 percent higher brand recall compared with 54 percent for the same ad on television.
