Mr. Sokhi said that BSE is Asia’s largest Stock Exchange. He explained to the students the very basic working and functioning of BSE.

With his dynamic style of presentation he made the workshop interesting, and shared a frank and friendly rapport with the students. He answered many questions, such as Where to invest? Why to invest? How to invest? He clarified the role and the need of a stock exchange in a country.
“I am glad our department organised such an informative workshop, I had so many misconceptions regarding the Stock Exchange earlier, and it was an eye opener!” said Fabeha Amin Qureshi a final year postgraduate student in the department.
