Calling capital markets a key enabler of India's entrepreneurial growth story, National Stock Exchange (NSE) MD and CEO Ashish Chauhan on Friday urged startups and MSMEs to consider public listing as a strategic tool for scaling businesses. Speaking at the JITO Incubation and Innovation Foundation's (JIIF) Foundation Day event at NSE, Chauhan said, “founders should focus on building profitable, sustainable businesses rather than being distracted by short term stock price movements.:
Addressing entrepreneurs, investors and startup founders at the event themed 'Compounding Bharat: Innovation Multiplied by Entrepreneurship', Chauhan said, “public markets provide growth capital, improve governance standards, enhance credibility and help companies attract top talent while allowing promoters to retain control of their businesses.”
