Governor of Maharashtra C P Radhakrishnan inaugurated the iconic statue of NSE Bull and launched a commemorative
Coffee Table Book titled “The Journey of Empowering 1.4 billion Dreams,” at NSE Headquarters recently along with Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO, NSE.
The statue of NSE Bull represents strength, power, and resilience—qualities that are key to India’s economic growth. The bull’s strong legs, prominent hump, and formidable presence symbolise the nation’s robust financial ecosystem.
Surrounded by figures representing the People of India from diverse backgrounds— such as a school-going boy, a village woman, and professionals—the sculpture underscores the inclusivity and unity of India’s investment landscape.
This iconic creation reflects the nation’s collective efforts, working together towards a common goal of economic progress.
NSE’s Coffee Table Book, “The Journey of Empowering 1.4 Billion Dreams” is a reflection on NSE’s evolution and its contributions to India’s growth story over the past 30 years.
In the last 30 years since the inception of its operations in 1994, NSE has revolutionized India’s capital markets. The book chronicles NSE’s pivotal role as a catalyst and a mirror of India’s growth.
NSE’s Bull sculpture and Coffee Table Bookstand as symbolic milestones in India’s Capital Markets journey. India is the fifth-largest economy and the fourth-largest capital market while NSE has grown to become the largest stock exchange in the world by activity in terms of number of orders and trades.
This achievement is a testament to India’s ability to build and sustain world-class institutions that serve the nation’s economic aspirations and progress towards a Viksit Bharat as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
C.P. Radhakrishnan on this occasion said, “I am happy to inaugurate the statue of NSE’s Bull and the Coffee Table Book. I would like to congratulate NSE for the Bull and the Coffee Table Book that are reflective of NSE’s role in revolutionizing India’s Capital markets and its contribution to the nation’s growth.
The Bull, a symbol of financial strength and upward momentum, has deep roots in stock market history.
Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO, NSE said, “We are proud to inaugurate the statue of NSE Bull and launch our Coffee Table Book at the hands of C.P. Radhakrishnan. The NSE Bull shows the symbiotic and virtuous relationship of Samaj and Bazaar.
The bull is a symbol of Capital Markets while the common people showcase Samaj, at the NSE Headquarters which is a bazaar. 30 years ago in 1994, the stock market in India i.e., bazaar, was not accessible to the Samaj. With the advent of first-of-its-kind, automated, screen-based trading at NSE, the market reached all corners of the country.
