This is a huge step forward for Heckyl, which is also a 2011 Tech 30 company. Talking to Mukund, as a startup entrepreneur, how easy or difficult was it to enter into this partnership? He says, "As a start-up one of the challenges is to prove that you are the best in your offerings and you are here to stay (not an over-night operator). Also you are essentially partnering with organizations who have proved the value of their product offerings over a period of time, hence it really takes a lot of efforts and time to make the partnership successful as the end users should be benefitted out of this partnership. Heckyl faced its own set of challenges in similar terms but were lucky to have met and interacted with the right people for a faster decision making, which essentially helped in moving into the application integration much faster."

‘Omnesys Nest Plus’ is the premium version of ‘Omnesys NEST’ with a lot of additional features. Omnesys’ trading system ‘OMNESYS NEST’ is used by top institutions to access various stock and commodity exchanges. OMNESYS provides market data and connectivity solutions to both buy-side and sell-side firms. The trading system is available either as a broker hosted solution or a ‘Software as a Service’ (SaS) solution. Using Nest Plus, the trader can subscribe to variety of value added services, technical calls, charts, news, TV and broker calls on the trading terminal itself and then use this information to make informed trading decisions.

Shrikant Pandit, Managing Director of Omnesys said, “Our partnership with Heckyl is a very strategic decision to provide value added services to our customers, who would now have the convenience of receiving News, Analytics, Analyst Views, Brokerage Recommendations, Research Reports, Market Video, Social Media Insights and SENTIMENTS etc, on their trading desk itself, giving them an edge to make a qualified decision based on information”.
