Moneylife has always believed that screeners are the very first and absolutely essential tools for stock picking. This is because finding a few stocks for detailed analysis from among thousands of listed stocks can be virtually impossible for retail investors who do not have access to paid databases. Fortunately, Mittal brothers have created screener.in, a web-based stock screening tool, which is available free to anyone. The brothers, who came to Mumbai all the way from the city of Lucknow, gave a brilliant presentation in how to use this powerful and essential tool. The brothers, who also helped launch the platform ValuePickr.com (a forum for value investors), enlightened the audience on how to create stock screens and track stocks based on such screens. 
Ayush and Pratyush Mittal explained how a free tool like Screener.in could be used by investors to shortlist stocks under financial and valuation parameters. They elaborated on how investors could use the website's customisation features to create their own unique screens for stocks. Ayush Mittal said, 'We have created 300 odd variables and allowed the user to create their own variables.' Chartered accountants by qualification and also full time investors, they shared their vast investing experience to an eager audience. They explained their ideas using real-life examples from well-known companies like Ajanta Pharma to little-known smaller companies like KG Denim. Ayush Mittal said that the pros and cons section, which has been created using an automated algorithm is an important feature of screener.in. Giving the importance of cons of a company, he remarked, 'If you reduce errors in the market while investing, you will do well.'
