Sundararaman Ramamurthy, 64, managing director and chief executive officer of BSE, Asia’s oldest stock exchange, is widely recognized for transforming this over 150-year-old institution. From the second floor of Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers, overlooking the Arabian Sea and the Mumbai Port Trust, Ramamurthy exudes calm authority. He confidently states that the proposed National Stock Exchange (NSE) listing is a ‘special milestone’ for him personally, given his long tenure at NSE. Since assuming leadership at BSE in 2023, he has driven the exchange’s market capitalization from ₹23,000 crore to an impressive ₹1.63 trillion as of Friday. He highlights the strategic steps BSE has implemented since he took over.
