Commenting on Q1 performance MD& CEO, Ashishkumar Chauhan said: “Regulatory compliance is and would remain top most priority for BSE in times to come, to maintain public trust in the markets as well as trust of regulators. BSE continues to provide a fair, efficient, transparent & orderly securities market. BSE aims to grow both organically and inorganically. It is heartening to note that quite a few initiatives seeded in earlier years are showing good growth and potential for increasing stakeholder valuation. Our International Exchange continues to get attraction from investors and we are focused on achieving the target of enabling Indian firms to compete on equal footing with offshore firms. As a strategy, BSE strives to obtain leadership position in newer opportunities while consolidating and improving its market share in areas where it is at a competitive disadvantage. Our consistent growth in our operational growth over past few years bears testimony to the success of the business strategy being implemented by us.
