Bajaj Markets plugs into ONDC to power up shopping plus finance
MUMBAI: From EMI dreams to LED screens Bajaj Markets just got an e-commerce upgrade. In a move that fuses fintech with fridge-shopping, Bajaj Markets, part of Bajaj Finserv Ltd. has officially joined hands with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). This integration transforms Bajaj Markets into a buyer-side participant on the ONDC network, allowing its users to shop for over 1.5 lakh premium electronics and appliances directly through the Bajaj Markets App and website alongside its existing suite of 140 plus financial products.
With this upgrade, the platform becomes more than just a place to compare credit cards or apply for a loan. Now, users can pick up an air fryer, finance it with a few clicks, and still have enough bandwidth left to explore insurance or investment options all under one digital roof.
“With 90 plus partners, 140 plus financial products, and over 16 million users, this is our next leap in enabling smarter consumer journeys,” said Bajaj Finserv Direct Ltd MD & CEO Ashish Panchal. “By integrating with ONDC, we’re not just enhancing choice, we’re accelerating India’s digital public infrastructure to reimagine commerce.”
ONDC’s Acting CEO and COO Vibhor Jain echoed the sentiment, calling the partnership a “redefinition of how financial services and commerce intersect.” The move, he added, leverages Bajaj Markets’ deep credit intelligence and ONDC’s open network philosophy to empower consumers with greater flexibility, smarter financing, and stronger financial planning tools.
Founded to simplify access to financial services, Bajaj Markets has grown into one of India’s largest digital marketplaces, connecting customers with leading banks and NBFCs. The tie-up with ONDC now adds another layer trusted commerce.
For India’s increasingly digital-first consumers, that means everything from choosing a washing machine to applying for personal loans could soon be part of the same scroll.
One platform. Many needs. Fully financed.

BSE revamps website with real-time data, mobile-first design, smart search
New platform brings cleaner layout, live market trackers and easier navigation
MUMBAI: BSE has rolled out a major redesign of its official website, aiming to make market data faster to access and easier to navigate for both seasoned traders and new-age retail investors.
The updated platform introduces a cleaner, more modern interface, replacing the earlier dense and text-heavy layout with a streamlined design. Navigation has been simplified with clearly segmented menus across markets, corporates, public issues, members, investment advisers and research analysts, helping users find information without the usual maze of links.
At the top, a refreshed header now offers quick access to notices, media releases, trading holidays and career updates. A centralised search bar allows users to instantly locate securities using names, codes, IDs or ISINs, cutting down the time spent digging through pages. For those still attached to the old layout, a dedicated toggle lets users switch back during the transition period.
A key highlight of the revamp is the sharper focus on real-time market data. A live ticker band now runs across the site, offering updates on indices including the SENSEX and BANKEX, alongside pre-open market signals. The homepage also features interactive charts, giving users a quick visual read of market trends without needing to navigate deeper.
Market activity sections such as top gainers, losers, turnover stocks and block deals have been reorganised into tabbed formats, making them more intuitive and easier to scan. Meanwhile, specialised areas like index derivatives and corporate data have been upgraded with better visualisation tools, offering clearer insights into contracts, turnover, open interest and company fundamentals.
The overhaul also reflects a strong mobile-first approach. With a growing number of investors tracking markets on their phones, the new site is fully responsive, ensuring charts and data tables remain readable and interactive across devices.
With this redesign, BSE appears to be aligning its digital presence with the needs of a more tech-savvy investor base, where speed, clarity and usability are just as critical as the data itself.
