BSE has been the first word in financial markets

(Disclosure:I am market making in the shares of BSE)

BSE has been the first word in the financial markets. When you think of stock markets, you think of BSE and Sensex has been a part of your life although many of us may not want to but still many remember when I was in class 10 what was the Sensex number, when I got married what was the Sensex number and when I had my first only child what was the Sensex number. So, effectively Sensex has been part of our life. So, effectively BSE will remain the first word in the markets and BSE will also remain the last word, like today we have done the closing bell, so, effectively BSE will continue to be the largest section in the world in terms of number of stocks listed, 5525.
