BSE's Revival: MD & CEO Addresses Challenges and Strategies
The boss of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) talks about making the exchange better.
When he started, BSE was losing money and needed a lot of improvements.
Now, they're doing better by adding new services like derivatives and attracting more companies to list.
They are also working to ensure that good companies are listed, especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs).
They still face challenges, such as ensuring fair prices for everyone trading on the exchange.
BSE's MD & CEO, Sundararaman Ramamurthy, discusses the exchange's challenges and strategies.
Key challenges included operational losses and outdated infrastructure when Ramamurthy took over.
BSE has focused on new revenue streams and product introductions, including derivatives and mutual funds.
Ramamurthy emphasizes the need for more stringent SME listing criteria and is in talks with SEBI.
Best price execution remains a challenge in the cash market, requiring attention and technological upgrades.
