On a day Sensex scaled Mount 52K, BSE MD and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan in an exclusive interview to Money9 reaffirmed his belief in the India growth story.

On his message to investors, he said his role is akin to an umpire and educate investors about the importance of not getting carried away.

“My role is like an umpire in a match. Our job is to ensure a framework for seamless trading. Investors need to take decisions and according to their risk appetite. Neither they should get carried away or be disappointed by sudden swings in the market. Be a long-term investor and don’t look at short-term goals. In the next 30-40 years, India is going to witness tremendous growth and investors will get good returns,” he told Money9.

Chauhan also heaped praise on India’s response to the COVID-19 crisis.

“India has handled the crisis very well and donating vaccines to other countries. India is now the ‘vaccine capital of the world’. The government did exceedingly well to feed 80 crore people. India showed the world its capability,” he said.
