Thirty years ago, Ashish Chauhan conceived the NIFTY 50 Index as a founding member of NSE India. Today, as the CEO of NSE, much of his time is spent ensuring the exchange evolves as a global technology powerhouse beyond just a market platform.
From reimagining the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) to leading NSE, he brings unmatched experience of modernising India’s stock markets.
But his enthusiasm remains undimmed: he personally attends bell-ringing ceremonies whenever possible (and there have been several in this IPO-heavy year!) to inspire founders and promoters on their big day.
In this special “IPO Baatcheet” episode with Startup Policy Forum from NSE’s iconic Atrium arena, he reflects on three decades of Indian stock markets, new-age IPO trends, rising retail investor trust, valuation and price-discovery debates, focus on profitability, high corporate governance needs, and NSE's massive scale as a tech giant.
