A nostalgic newspaper cutting retrieved by
@nseindia media team from Asian Age archive today. Credits - Ms Kushalrani Gulab. Newspaper article dated October 24,1994, a week before the launch of
@nseindia trading in equities on November 3,1994. At that time, there were no expectations from technology and no words like IT revolution, IT billionaires, VC, PE, incubators, Unicorns, fin tech, etc.
While explaining the concept of screen based trading to media, I had used words like cyberspace as the floor etc.
Fast developments in IT world, Indian IT with its wise billionaires, e governance, UPI, JAM, COWIN, GST, CPC, 2G,3G,4G,5G, etc. The IT revolution and fintech revolution - it all started with successful implementation of
@NSEIndia project then. It was almost 18-20 months of work preceding the date that allowed the successful launch on November 3,1994.
