What is the full story of the scam?
Let us tell you that the then CEO of India’s top stock market NSE, Chitra Ramakrishna told PTI eight years ago that technology is a lion on which everyone is riding. At that time, she herself was riding the lion on the top post of the National Stock Exchange. The NSE had overtaken the 100-year-old BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) as the largest stock exchange in India within a year of its launch in 1994.
A technical snag in NSE’s sophisticated algorithmic based superfast trading allowed Ramakrishna to rise to the top position of NSE in the male dominated world of stock trading. About 10 lakh crore rupees of investors were wiped out due to this technical fault on the morning of October 5, 2012 in the NSE.
NSE CEO Ravi Narayan had to step down and a few months later on 13 April 2013, the command of NSE was formally handed over to Chitra Ramakrishna. Today, 59-year-old Ramakrishna is at the center of a bizarre scam when a SEBI probe revealed that he was being instructed by a mysterious Himalayan yogi in taking key business decisions of the exchange.
