Ahead of NSE’s IPO, Managing Director and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan highlights the exchange’s massive growth, technology edge and ability to scale further. NSE’s capacity currently stands at around 50 million orders per second, with Chauhan saying additional hardware can help the exchange handle even higher volumes. The transformation has been dramatic - from just around 700 trades on NSE’s first day in 1994 to nearly 30 crore trades on a good day today.
Chauhan says the exchange has remained highly scalable and reasonably profitable, with most profits distributed as dividends. He also highlights the experience of NSE’s management team and its strong technology capabilities. As NSE moves closer to its much-awaited IPO, the exchange’s scale and growth journey remain key talking points for investors.
