The National Stock Exchange (NSE) appointed former International Financial Services Centers Authority (IFSCA) chairman Injeti Srinivas as its new Chairman on Tuesday, filling a leadership vacuum at the exchange that had remained for two years.
Srinivas previously served as Corporate Affairs Secretary and became the founding chairman of IFSCA. At IFSCA, he played a key role in driving institutional reforms, strengthening governance frameworks, and introducing policy innovations for India’s financial sector. His wide experience in administration and financial regulation is expected to help NSE navigate its next phase of growth and public market entry.
