She also highlighted that the NSE is also working on a process to use AI technology to process IPO documents and now AI has also entered into the processing of REIT annual report or an INVIT annual report.
“We are working on AI-based processing of IPO documents. So we should be like this but with the assurance to the investor we’ve looked at it” added Buch.
Talking about the growth of the Indian economy Buch said the financial economy is very important for the goal of Viksit Bharat.
“An extremely important pillar for Viksit Bharat is the economy, the real economy, the financial economy, the markets. It is a matter of pride to us that in the global lead tables, India ranks number one in the total number of IPOs and issuances in the world” said Buch. (ANI)
