Chauhan emphasised that the NSE pioneered technology in 1994, during the time of the IT boom. Later, during the Y2K era (the year 2000), the NSE showcased India’s technological capabilities, attracting big contracts and becoming a hub for small companies to demonstrate their expertise.

"Today, technology is our fuel, and India is the IT capital of the world. Technology has brought the biggest shift and change in the world," he said during a podcast conversation with Kailash Adhikari, MD of Sri Adhikari Brothers.
