Explurger’s rise echoes at G20 as Jitin Bhatia meets PM Modi
Bhatia was part of an eight-member delegation of Indian-origin tech entrepreneurs invited for a focused interaction with the Prime Minister, spotlighting India’s rising influence in digital innovation. The meeting, though brief, underscored the Centre’s growing commitment to encourage home-grown platforms gaining worldwide traction.
This year’s G20 , the first to be hosted on African soil, put a sharp emphasis on shared economic resilience, equitable digital access and the future of global data flows. With its reputation for interoperable digital public infrastructure, India played an outsized role in shaping conversations around technology, mobility and cross-border digital ecosystems.
During the session, Bhatia presented Explurger, the Made-in-India social platform blending travel journaling, gamified rewards and real-time discovery. With 18 million users across 75 countries, the app was showcased as a rising example of how Indian consumer tech is now influencing global habits in travel, tourism and community-building.
Reflecting on the interaction, Bhatia said the meeting felt “energising and grounding,” noting that the Prime Minister engaged deeply with ideas around tourism, AI and digital mobility. “Modi ji asked sharp, practical questions. He didn’t feel like a distant policymaker, he felt like someone who understands what startups face on the ground,” he said.
The Prime Minister used the roundtable to encourage founders to build confidently for the world, drawing strength from India’s expanding innovation landscape. He highlighted emerging opportunities in AI-driven travel tools, digital identity systems and platforms that enhance cultural visibility for developing economies.
For Explurger, the G20 spotlight adds further momentum to its image as a ‘Make in India’ platform with global ambitions, strengthening its position in shaping how people move, explore and record their travel stories worldwide.

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.
