About the Book:

The revolution in India’s capitalism began in the 19th century Bombay under a banyan tree, considered a venerable symbol of timeless wisdom, fortitude and endurance. It all started when a group of stockbrokers started trading under shades of the banyan tree. On 9 July 1875, they formed The Native Share and Stock Brokers’ Association, which evolved into the Bombay Stock Exchange or BSE, as we know it today. The exchange went through changes in myriad ways that added new chapters to its 140 years of being a beacon of India’s capital markets. The Banyan tree would, most likely, be entirely happy with today’s BSE—if, indeed, it recognised it at all.

The book is a fascinating recount of the history of Asia’s first stock exchange and the surprising number of ways in which it shaped the growth of Indian capital markets and the Maximum City of Mumbai, the kinder, gentler haven of commercial ventures and entrepreneurs, around it. The volume is replete with reminders that India’s financial past is inextricably linked to our more familiar history lessons. At times, the reader will also encounter names that are missing from most standard history books on India’s financial history.

In its brisk history telling, it portrays BSE’s journey as an institution that pursued capital raising for Indian economy from 1875 to the present in vivid detail—periods spanning triumphs and setbacks, tumults and resilience and the innovations and missed opportunities. The BSE breezed through all of them and the markets won the day.
