The Indian stock market is a cornerstone of the nation’s financial system, providing a dynamic platform for trading and investment. Anchored by two major exchanges, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE), it facilitates the buying and selling of equities, derivatives, bonds, and more.

The BSE, Asia’s oldest exchange, established in 1875, is synonymous with the Sensex, a benchmark index tracking 30 leading companies. The NSE, launched in 1992, revolutionized trading in India by introducing electronic trading systems. Its Nifty 50 index reflects the performance of 50 diversified companies, making it a vital economic indicator.

These exchanges empower businesses to raise capital and offer investors a gateway to wealth creation, cementing their significance in driving India’s economic growth.
