India’s financial markets are growing leaps and bounds. India’s premier exchange NSE is
world’s largest derivatives exchange for 4th consecutive year, ranks 3rd largest globally in
equity segment in 2022. This year, Post Covid the benchmark equity index-the Nifty 50

strengthening in most product categories including equity, equity derivatives and
currency derivatives. NSE is expected to shortly begin the social stock exchange as a new
segment. This would enable ‘Social Enterprises’ particularly the Non-Profit organisations
