Brand Finance Ranking: A Reflection of NSE’s Growth
The Brand Finance ranking is a testament to NSE’s robust growth and its increasing global relevance. The exchange’s brand value has risen by 39% to $526 million so far this year, driven by robust forecasted revenue growth, record-breaking IPOs, rising derivatives activities, and strong performance in the index-related business.
NSE’s Financial Performance
In fiscal 2023-24, NSE’s revenue was up 25% year-on-year to Rs 14,780 crore, while the net profit rose 13% to Rs 8,306 crore. Additionally, last year 91 large companies raised Rs 1.6 lakh crore through IPOs, while the overall equity fundraising more than doubled to Rs 3.73 lakh crore.
Strongest Exchange Brand
Brand Finance further added that NSE is the seventh strongest exchange brand in the 2025 ranking with a Brand Strength Index score of 78.1/100 and an AA+ brand strength rating. This recognition is a result of NSE’s commitment to providing tech-driven services that ensure safe and quick transactions.
Global Financial Gravity Shift
Ajimon Francis, Managing Director, Brand Finance India, stated that NSE’s debut in the global top 10 signals more than just impressive brand value growth. It reflects a broader shift in global financial gravity, with India’s deepening capital markets, supported by rising investor participation, record IPO activities, and innovation in products, gaining global relevance.
Implications for Indian Investors
The NSE’s entry into the top 10 global exchanges list has significant implications for Indian investors.

Indian investors can capitalize on this trend by investing in stocks that are likely to benefit from the growing economy and increasing foreign investment. Some of the sectors that are expected to perform well include IT, pharmaceuticals, and financial services.
