India Emerges as World's IT Capital, Says NSE CEO
Imagine India as a super-smart tech hub!
The NSE, a big stock market, helped this happen.
Years ago, the NSE used new technology, which showed off India's tech skills and helped small companies.
Now, India is the place where many international IT companies have set up shop, and many are manufacturing iPhones, servers and electronic chips here.
Because of tech, the stock market has grown, showing how India's economy has gotten much bigger.
This means more people are investing and the market is worth a lot more.
Ashish Kumar Chauhan, NSE's CEO, stated that India is the IT capital of the world.
The NSE pioneered technology in 1994 and became a hub for showcasing India's tech capabilities.
Over 2,000-3,000 international IT companies have established bases in India.
India's market capitalization has increased over 120 times since the NSE's inception in 1994.
The NSE introduced the country's first fully automated, screen-based order matching system in 1994.
