“Play each ball on its merit.” That was one of the many powerful lessons Shri Ashish Kumar Chauhan, MD & CEO of the National Stock Exchange of India, shared in this episode of Angel Bold Conversations. From helping build India’s first nationwide screen-based exchange to shaping one of the most important public digital infrastructures in the country, Ashish-ji has had a front-row seat to India’s financial transformation. In this conversation, we went deep into the early days of NSE when the idea of a fully computerized, nationwide stock exchange seemed almost impossible. We also spoke about how technology reshapes societies, why young and tech-forward nations have a unique advantage, and why India is well positioned for the next wave of wealth creation. It was a privilege to host a true architect of India’s capital markets and learn from his journey.

Some conversations feel like a history lesson in real time. Speaking with Shri Ashish Kumar Chauhan was one of them, a veteran who has seen, built, and shaped India’s market infrastructure. This teaser offers a small glimpse into that journey and the thinking behind how enduring market systems are created.

Wrapping up Q3 FY26, the progress we've made at @AngelOne feels like a significant leap forward in our mission to simplify finance for everyone. We have a beginner's mindset though. Always at the beginning of new things, staying focused on investing in technology, talent, and new business segments, we are putting in motion and excited by what is ahead of us. We have been making deliberate investments across wealth, asset management, and credit alongside a strong focus on technology and AI as a core enabler of growth and efficiency. This quarter, we achieved a major milestone by launching the beta version of our in-house Data Analyst Agent, an AI-powered conversational tool that allows our teams to derive complex insights using natural language. These technological advancements are reflected in our strong performance; we saw our total gross income grow by 11.1% QoQ to reach ₹13.4 billion, while PAT surged 26.9% QoQ to ₹2.7 billion. This growth is happening alongside a community that’s now 35.7 million clients strong. What's even more encouraging is seeing our platform resonate so deeply with a younger generation, with 45% of our new clients being under 25 years of age. As we move into our "Expanding Horizons" phase for FY26, we’re weaving AI directly into Angel One’s fabric. At the same time, we want to ensure our growth creates value for everyone. This quarter, the board has recommended a ₹23 interim dividend and a 1:10 stock split, a move we are especially excited about, as it makes Angel One more accessible to a broader base of investors. Our vision for the future is to keep building on the trust we've earned over the last 30 years. We have evolved into a full-stack financial ecosystem, spanning from wealth and Asset management to credit and insurance. The goal is to create a resilient model that provides value across all market cycles and helps us tell a billion stories of financial growth. #AngelOne #Q3FY26 #FinTech #WealthCreation @DineshThakkar @iAmitMajumdar

Being at IIT Bombay for Techfest reminded me how much our perspective on risk shifts as we move from youthful hope to seasoned experience. In this conversation with Tamanna, we explored "regret minimisation", the idea that when facing uncertainty, we should choose the path we’d most regret not exploring a decade from now. Because later we realise that the intensity of a moment fades, but regret has a much longer shelf life. This long-term judgment is more critical than ever as change continues to arrive through democratisation. First, it was labour, then skills, and then knowledge with the internet. Today, intelligence itself is being democratised through AI. By lowering the barriers to insight, it isn’t replacing humans but shifting our primary value. When access becomes widespread, the real differentiator becomes human judgment- choosing better problems, thinking ahead, and valuing the work itself over the labels attached to it. Through this discussion, the quality of the questions in the room said a lot. Thoughtful, value-driven, and willing to challenge assumptions, which made the conversation feel less like a session and more like shared thinking. Thank you, @TamannaInamdar, for the ease and depth you brought to the dialogue. And to @iitbombay - the curiosity in the room made it worth slowing down and thinking aloud. #IITBTechFest #LeadershipTalk #ArtificialIntelligence

@ashishchauhan @shawnchauhan1 Great to see and Congrats @ashishchauhan ji!

Took divine blessings of Lord Venkateshwara at Tirupati this morning with family for NSE, its employees, members, listed companies, stakeholders, and all investors. 🙏 The pilgrimage was planned a while back. Hon’ble SEBI Chairman’s signal to give NSE IPO approval this month just as we reached Tirupati last evening, truly felt like a divine sign from the Almighty. A blessed pilgrimage! ✨

The Power of the "Not Yet" The last few days of December and the beginning of a new year have a unique stillness. Many usually spend them auditing our "already" achieved goals and milestones passed. I always tell people that you are what you can do in the future, NOT what you have done so far. Recently, I came across a thought by Jean-Paul Sartre that describes this idea much more eloquently: “Man is not the sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.” As the New Year begins, don't just audit your achievements. You are not a museum of past wins or failures. Learn from them but know that you are the sum of the choices, actions, and impact you haven’t made yet. To what you will achieve and reach your fullest potential. Happy New Year!! #Resilience #Reflection #Welcome2026

Reflecting on 2025, one word comes to mind: Velocity. I joined @AngelOne this year, and the transition from global tech into the heart of Indian FinTech has been even more energising than I expected. Moving from the world of digital payments to the deeper layers of wealth creation has been a meaningful shift, one that mirrors how rapidly India’s financial appetite itself is evolving. When I stepped into this role, I knew the legacy DT (@DineshThakkar) had built was significant. But experiencing it from the inside is different. This year, we didn’t just talk about scale, we felt it. Crossing 30 million clients, expanding into new financial adjacencies, and watching first-time investors from Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns begin their journey reminds you why the work matters. What stands out most isn’t the numbers. It’s the trust behind them. Every new investor, every late-night huddle, every product decision carries responsibility, and that’s what keeps us grounded even as we move fast. To top off an incredible year, being recognised by @etedge_insights as India’s Impactful Rising CEO is a humbling moment, but it truly belongs to the team. The grit, curiosity, and commitment of Angelites are what power this momentum. The road ahead is long. The opportunity is even larger. And if this year taught me anything, it’s that speed matters and short-term gyrations happen, but what matters the most is the ability to stay focused on the long-term direction! Onwards & Upwards. #AngelOne #FinTech #Leadership

2025 has been a year of steady shifts in financial services, and at @AngelOne, we’ve stayed anchored in our core belief: sustainable growth built on diversification and a long-term view. Broking remains our strong core, but our platform today is much broader. We’ve built a full-stack FinTech platform and are expanding its depth across investing, wealth, credit and life insurance. Our strength has always been in building intuitive, tech-led solutions and with AI now embedded across many of our journeys, the next phase will only deepen that impact. This evolution moves us from pure transactions to meaningful, long-horizon wealth creation, something that will shape India’s financial landscape over the coming decade. In my recent conversation with @AnandJRAnand & @BhavyaDKumar from @moneycontrolcom, I spoke about these shifts in detail.

@kunalb11 @CRED_club Congratulations, Kunal and the team, on this inCREDible seven-year milestone. A journey like this takes commitment, steady focus and discipline. It’s great to see how this dedication has compounded into meaningful impact. @kunalb11 @CRED_club

What used to be the occasional fake profile has now turned into organised attempts to mimic identities, recreate brand elements, and mislead investors with a level of detail that looks convincing at first glance. Lately, we have noticed this trend accelerating across the industry. Even my name and photos have started appearing in unofficial groups that claim to offer stock tips or guaranteed returns.

𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. I have believed this for decades, and it remains the reason India’s retail investing story continues to expand. In my conversation with @samiemodak of @bsindia, I spoke about how digital public infrastructure, UPI and eKYC have opened the markets to millions of first-time investors across Tier-II and Tier-III India. The penetration we see today is structural, not cyclical. The next wave will be shaped by 𝗔𝗜-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀, and the 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 — innovations that will bring more efficiency, transparency, and near real-time settlement. At @AngelOne, this focus on the investor continues to drive our growth. From scaling digital broking to becoming No. 2 in incremental SIPs and building @ionicwealth to ₹61.4 Bn AUM, the mission remains the same: 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Looking forward to the journey ahead. #FinTech #DigitalIndia #FinancialInclusion

Great to see @ashishchauhan ji highlight how technology can transform resilience from a reactive concept into a built-in capability. Strengthening systems, improving redundancy, and institutionalising risk controls will play a decisive role in keeping our fast-scaling markets safe and efficient. This approach is exactly what India’s market infrastructure needs today. #NSE #CapitalMarkets #TechResilience #RiskPrevention

There’s something about conversations with founders like @1kunalbahl — direct, thoughtful, and rooted in real experience. In the fourth episode of 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗔𝗕𝗖), we spoke about what it truly takes to build in India: the constant iterations, the uncertainty, the resilience, and the belief that keeps you moving forward. It’s a reminder that building anything meaningful is never a straight road — but it’s always worth it. Here’s a small preview. Full episode dropping soon. @AngelOne #AngelBoldConversations #AngelOne #Leadership #BoldMovesAhead

At @AngelOne, we have always believed that technology should simplify decisions, not complicate them. Investing is no different. In a recent conversation with Atreyee Chakraborty from @ExpComputer, our Chief Product & Technology Officer, Ravish Sinha, shared how we are building a Financial SuperApp designed for the next decade — intelligent, real-time, and personalised at scale. As India moves into an intelligent-first era, our approach stays anchored in three principles: build on data, design for trust, and innovate with speed. The goal is to create an AI-powered investing experience that learns continuously and works seamlessly for every user, from a first-time investor to a seasoned trader. This is just the beginning of what we are building. #AngelOne #SuperApp #Investing #Fintech

In my last post, I spoke about how mutual funds have moved from niche to mainstream in India. We are now seeing the next phase unfold. 𝗔𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻, 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁. At @AngelOne, we have been tracking this shift closely.

It combines Momentum (companies showing consistent performance trends) with Quality (businesses demonstrating strong fundamentals). The result is a portfolio of 50 stocks drawn from a universe of 750 stocks, designed to balance growth potential with stability.

This is how we see investing evolving — smarter, data-led, and transparent, where simplicity meets strategy. A big shoutout to Hemen Bhatia and the entire @AngelOneMF team for reimagining what passive investing can mean for India’s next generation of investors. #SmartBetaFund #WealthCreation #SmartInvesting

@NeerajMishra195 @AngelOne @DineshThakkar Thanks Neeraj for sharing this. We love hearing directly from our users and are looking at your suggestions and insights to continuously keep improving our product. Do keep your suggestions coming!

At @AngelOne One, we have always believed that wealth creation should feel simple, intuitive, and part of everyday life, not something reserved for the few. That belief is reflected in our growth: while our total investor base grew 24% year-on-year as on FY25, the new unique SIP registrations rose to 23.8% last quarter alone. To me, this reflects something deeper than just growth. It signals a mindset shift — investors embracing discipline over impulse, long-term wealth creation instead of short-term benefits, and clarity over complexity. Our focus on digital-first onboarding, intuitive advisory, and jargon-free communication is making that shift easier and more empowering for everyone, from first-time investors to those fine-tuning their long-term goals. Personally, this phase feels special. Having spent years building digital solutions that simplify how people live and interact with technology, seeing that same simplicity now shape how investing is becoming a daily habit, not a hurdle, feels deeply rewarding. We are still early in this journey, but the direction is clear.
