Stockholding rolls out StockFin 2.0 app to simplify investing nationwide
MUMBAI: When investing meets a software refresh, ease is the real upgrade. Stockholding Services Limited has rolled out Stockfin 2.0 nationwide, positioning the revamped investing app as a one-stop, mobile-first platform aimed at widening retail participation across India.
Designed to work as smoothly in metro markets as in fast-growing tier II and tier III cities, Stockfin 2.0 reflects the changing profile of India’s investors. Built on a future-ready architecture, the app features upgraded performance, a refreshed interface and a simplified structure intended to make market participation less intimidating and more intuitive.
The platform brings together equities, derivatives, stock SIPs, mutual funds, ETFs, SME stocks and IPOs within a single interface. Product-wise grouping allows users to navigate quickly, while a clean dashboard offers real-time snapshots of market indices, portfolio value, top gainers and losers, and profit and loss positions.
For investors seeking deeper insight, Stockfin 2.0 includes screeners, technical indicators, research calls and detailed reports. Short-term traders are catered to with a dedicated ‘Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow’ section, while goal-based mutual fund flows aim to simplify long-term financial planning.
The app also focuses on execution and security. Best price routing directs trades to the exchange offering the most competitive price, while MPIN, biometric login and OTP-based verification reinforce account safety. Personalisation options, including themes, font sizes and saved order settings, add flexibility to the user experience.
Speaking at the launch, officials highlighted the role of technology-led platforms in expanding financial inclusion and supporting India’s broader digital and self-reliance goals. Company leadership described Stockfin 2.0 as more than a cosmetic upgrade, positioning it as a step towards making investing more accessible, informed and dependable for retail participants nationwide.
Backed by StockHolding’s long-standing presence in financial services, the new app is aimed at investors who want real-time insights, secure access and the ability to manage multiple asset classes on the move, all without losing clarity in a fast-moving market.

OpenAI’s Stargate lead Peter Hoeschele exits with two senior leaders
Trio behind compute push set to join new startup amid leadership reshuffle
SAN FRANCISCO: Peter Hoeschele, a key figure behind OpenAI’s early Stargate data centre initiative, has exited the company, according to a report by The Information.
The departure is part of a broader leadership shift, with two other senior executives, Shamez Hemani and Anuj Saharan, also set to leave in the coming days. All three are expected to join the same new startup, although details about the venture remain under wraps.
The trio played a central role in OpenAI’s Stargate effort, an initiative aimed at building large-scale data centre capacity in-house to reduce reliance on external infrastructure providers. Their exits mark a notable moment for the company’s compute strategy as it continues to scale rapidly.
OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement to The Information, “We’re grateful for the contributions Peter, Shamez, and Anuj have made to OpenAI and wish them the very best in what comes next.” The company also pointed to the recent appointment of Sachin Katti to lead its industrial compute organisation, signalling continuity in its infrastructure roadmap.
OpenAI has indicated that it does not plan to directly replace Hoeschele’s role, suggesting a possible restructuring of responsibilities within the team.
As competition intensifies in the race to build next-generation AI systems, leadership changes in core infrastructure teams are likely to draw close attention. For now, the spotlight shifts to what this departing trio builds next, and how OpenAI adapts as it scales its ambitions.
