Homecoming to NSE via BSE: Plenteous crises await Ashish Kumar Chauhan

All set to return to the NSE after two decades, the BSE’s outgoing CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan faces an uphill task of guiding the bourse bogged down by governance lapses, a co-location scam, technical glitches and a phone-tapping probe, according to experts.

Chauhan will also need to steer the long-pending public offer of shares at the National Stock Exchange (NSE), where he was part of the founding team but left it in 2000, for various roles at Reliance Industries group, before returning to the stock exchange arena as deputy CEO of the BSE in 2009 and then as CEO in 2012.
