CtrlS Datacenters has partnered with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to significantly strengthen the digital infrastructure underpinning India’s financial markets. This partnership comes at a crucial time, as the BSE, now operating entirely through digital platforms, processes more than 700 crore transactions daily and serves a staggering 11 crore investors across the country. The collaboration underscores the growing importance of secure and high-performance data systems in ensuring the integrity and efficiency of financial operations in an increasingly digital economy.
The leadership at CtrlS Datacenters, represented by founder and CEO Sridhar Pinnapureddy, has highlighted the immense responsibility that comes with supporting the nation’s oldest and one of its most critical financial institutions. Pinnapureddy has stated that every transaction routed through their infrastructure has a direct impact on investors, businesses, and the broader economic health of the country.
BSE CEO Sundararaman Ramamurthy has affirmed the exchange’s commitment to leveraging world-class technology to support its critical operations. He has pointed out that robust data centre infrastructure is fundamental to the smooth functioning of stock exchanges, and that reliable technology partners like CtrlS play a vital role in maintaining seamless trading and supporting the BSE’s vision for sustainable growth.
Established in 1875, the BSE stands as Asia’s oldest stock exchange and is currently the sixth-largest globally by market capitalisation, with listed assets valued at approximately ₹400 lakh crore. The exchange supports over 5,500 listed companies and SMEs, and its flagship Sensex index is widely regarded as a key indicator of India’s financial health. BSE has a history of innovation, having launched dedicated platforms for SMEs and India’s first international exchange, India INX, which provides 22-hour trading access.
