Siddharth Balachandran, executive chairman and CEO of Buimerc Corporation Ltd, has boosted his stake to 2.58 per cent in BSE Ltd (formerly Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd), which boasts the world’s 10th highest market capitalisation at $2.58 trillion for its listed companies.

It is the holding company of various subsidiaries operating across diversified lines of business and has established a presence across the UAE and India and has significant investment portfolios in the USA and the EU.
With listed companies exceeding 5,620, BSE Ltd is the world’s second-largest exchange in currency options traded volume; the third largest in currency futures traded volume, and the ninth-largest in electronic book trades.
