Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Founder and CEO, CtrlS Datacenters, said, “The scale and criticality of BSE’s operations represent not just a technological challenge, but a responsibility to India’s economic sovereignty and growth. Every transaction processed through our infrastructure impacts investors, businesses, and ultimately, the nation’s financial health.

Sundararaman Ramamurthy, MD & CEO of BSE, said, “In all aspects of our operations, we do leverage technology. We ensure that the technology is world-class and is capable of supporting critical transactions. Our digital fabric is supported by robust infrastructure core and that means good data centers. Data center infrastructure is crucial for stock exchanges. The shift to electronic trading has been a significant factor in the stock exchanges’ use of data centers. We are proud that BSE is empowered by CtrlS, a partner that carries the same vision of ours. We trust CtrlS with its world-class digital infrastructure to support our operations, but more than that, it is their commitment to sustainable growth that aligns with our goals in the country’s larger vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.”
