How Ashishkumar Chauhan Guided NSE to IPO | Today’s news

For all the cleanup and steering the company toward an IPO for which he can be credited, Chauhan prefers to keep a low profile and projects himself as working under the auspices of the company’s board, said a person involved in the IPO process. “He always wants people to know that it’s the board that makes the decisions and avoids any unwanted shareholder scrutiny,” the person added. Much of the process involving dealing with bankers and the lead book-keeping manager (BRLM) for the IPO process, Chauhan let the finance department led by Ian De Souza, NSE’s chief financial officer, take over and manage it.
