BENGALURU, India, June 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Art of Living, renowned for its humanitarian projects, has made significant strides in providing free education in remote urban, rural, and tribal areas across India. These schools aim to nurture broad-minded personalities in a stress-free environment, empowering children from underprivileged backgrounds. The inspiration behind this exceptional initiative is Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a globally acclaimed spiritual leader and humanitarian. He profoundly believes, “Education is civilisation’s greatest leveler. It has the power to empower the weakest of the weak, bring peace to the world, and alleviate poverty. It is often seen as the only lit path in the pursuit of happiness.”

The journey began in 1981 with the inauguration of the first school in rural Bengaluru, catering to 30 children. Over the past 42 years, this initiative has flourished, and there are now 1,262 schools across 22 states in India, providing comprehensive education to over 1,00,000 children.

Key Highlights:

100% Results: The schools boast a remarkable 100% pass rate, with zero dropouts and over 90% attendance.Comprehensive Support: Students benefit from midday meals, medical camps, well-equipped libraries, bicycles, school buses, books, computer labs, sports equipment, and stationery. Holistic Development: Daily practices of yoga, pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya (a world famous breathwork), and meditation foster physical and mental well-being, along with strong values and life skills.Community Development Initiatives: Health and hygiene awareness camps and regular communication with parents help encourage a positive environment for children.Empowering Teachers: Teachers are trained to be community leaders and change agents, ensuring sustainable development.

Investing.com Launches WarrenAI – A Cutting-Edge AI-Driven ‘Financial Researcher’

Published

on

By

Leveraging a wealth of unprecedented real-time premium data, “WarrenAI” brings unprecedented AI capabilities to investing, combining ChatGPT-like technology with unparalleled market data and analytical prowess

NEW YORK, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Investing.com, the world’s largest financial news, tools & data platform, accessed by more than 60 million retail investors monthly, has announced the launch of “WarrenAI,” a cutting-edge AI-driven financial researcher, designed to revolutionize investor analysis and insights.

Through WarrenAI, Investing.com brings unprecedented AI capabilities to retail investors through innovative technology that combines the ease of ChatGPT with the trusted premium market data and raw analytical power. Further bridging the gap between retail investors and professional Wall Street traders, WarrenAI is a personal, devoted financial researcher, with superhuman capacity and expertise, and which can answer just about any question with faster market reactions than a fleet of Wall Street analysts. WarrenAI will also launch in over 30 languages, providing retail investors across the globe with access to the AI tool.

While existing AI software such as ChatGPT source data from the entire web, WarrenAI is significantly differentiated in having exclusive access to vetted, real-time, unparalleled data on global markets from the world’s largest resource for financial markets. The new tool provides investors with immediate access to an array of over 1200 premium fundamental metrics spanning more than 72,000 companies, ETFs, mutual funds, closed-end funds and REITs, complete with a decade’s worth of historical data. In addition to condensing months of detailed financial news into quick, essentials-only summaries, WarrenAI can deliver comprehensive SWOT analysis, provide the bearish and bullish cases for thousands of stocks, gather breaking Wall Street analyst outlooks, and run advanced stock screeners — all within seconds.

“Retail investors will discover that WarrenAI is far more than your average AI chatbot. It is a supercharged, data-driven assistant; and just like professional investors, thanks to WarrenAI, retail investors will have their own financial researcher working for them — WarrenAI will fetch important news, data and research, take care of the time-consuming heavy lifting, and help them make more informed investment decisions,” said Omer Shvili, CEO of Investing.com. “By enhancing the utility of our massive amounts of data and financial tools, with the ever-growing capabilities of generative AI, the launch of WarrenAI represents Investing.com’s boldest step yet toward arming retail investors with the resources they need to close the gap with market professionals and improve the quality of their investment decisions.”

The launch of WarrenAI comes as generative AI is increasingly used in the financial services industry, shaping how retail investors invest and interact with advisors. WarrenAI takes AI’s impact in the industry to the next level by not only supplementing, but actually replicating the experience of working with a seasoned team financial researchers — providing instant charts, tables, optimized calculations, and long-form analysis, all deriving from a rich treasure trove of data that investors can trust.

“Our fundamental mission is to bridge the gap between retail and institutional investors, releasing products and services which not only reduce that gap but that are specifically designed and catered to the retail investor market,” said James Lu, Founding Partner at Joffre Capital and Chairman of Investing.com. “While some financial services institutions are restricting the use of AI, at Investing.com we understand that we simply cannot run away from the future. Through WarrenAI, we are delivering the latest game-changing resources and technology directly to investors’ fingertips.”

A beta launch of WarrenAI saw Investing.com users utilizing the AI tool around an array of wide-ranging requests on equities, macroeconomic events, trading techniques, and portfolio strategies. A large volume of inquiries centered on individual stock analysis, with users asking for earnings forecasts, fair value estimates, and SWOT-type evaluations. Other questions focused on macro events and their influence on markets, commodities and currencies, in addition to cryptocurrency outlooks. Portfolio-building and stock-screening queries also remained popular, with users looking to identify undervalued equities and high-yield dividend stocks. Results from the beta launch indicate both fundamental and active-trading mindsets, with users seeking in-depth fundamental insights as well as agile, trading-oriented tactics.

WarrenAI builds on the momentum generated by Investing.com’s premium subscription service, InvestingPro, which offers retail investors enhanced financial tools and real-time exclusive breaking news at an affordable price, once again providing them with value-added solutions to more effectively compete with institutional investors. Last year, as part of these premium features, Investing.com launched ProPicks AI, an AI-powered stock picker that equips retail investors with exciting trading ideas each month, and which have proven to consistently outperform the market’s benchmark indices.
