NSE CEO on India’s economic resilience

The NSE MD & CEO, in recent conversation with a leading daily said that India’s economy was looking up and now actually ‘preparing to take off’.

He opined that the Indian economy was showing signs of breaking away from the shackles as unlike earlier, the global circumstances didn’t affect Indian economy much, this year.

“Earlier, whenever the oil prices went up, we used to be in trouble, interest rates abroad would go up, we would have FPIs taking money and markets will tank. This is the first time we didn’t see that happening, the Indian investor was sort of enlisting increasingly larger amounts every month,” he told CNBC TV 18.
