Hey Ruchita,
You could solve this problem by using an API to perform the conversions. I did a quick search on Google for "currency conversion API" and there are many available. Here's one that looks good ... https://exchangeratesapi.io/.
Once you pick your API, you'll need to add it to your Data Library in Bravo. You can follow the Bravo tutorial for that. The setup is fairly simple. During the setup you will run a test query against the API. The test will show the data elements that are returned by the API, and you can select the items you want to use on your page (the conversion page).
Two things to watch for ... 1) make sure you're using the correct REST verb (GET or POST) and 2) be sure to add the security token. That second item is tricky to find in the Bravo UI ... click on the gear icon near the collection's name and then click the Authentication tab.
Bravo is perfect for this kind of app.
Good luck,
Bill
