Stories of a middle-class man, who worked day in day out,
usually inspires entrepreneurs and young business aspirants, which also include
the one in family business. The latter individual is fortunate enough to follow
the guided path and attain pre-set mission but the story is somewhat different
for the self-made ones, who rose from the ashes of a phoenix.
Jignesh Shah is one such
personality, considered as a technical
scientist and always willing to explore each dimension of his subject of
interest. That self-motivation led
the man to foray in the industry of finance and lay the foundation of Financial Technologies (India) Limited
in 1988, which issued its first IPO in 1995.
When Jignesh Shah established the first ever derivatives trading platform in India, the enthusiastic technocrat was invited by
international financial centres across Singapore,
Mauritius, Dubai, to name a few. The main purpose behind that humble
invitation was to seek his help and support in not only establishing but also
developing the financial markets in their respective countries along with
establishing an up to the mark digital ecosystem.
There was no looking back then, and Shah went on to create
and launch numerous financial entities. From the world’s largest commodity
futures exchange, Multi Commodity
Exchange (MCX) to Dubai Gold &
Commodities Exchange (DGCX), Bourse
Africa, Indian Energy Exchange (IEX),
to Bahrain Financial Exchange (BFX),
and Singapore Mercantile Exchange (SMX).
The list goes on and on.
Till day, FTIL has generated more than 1 million employment opportunities under Jignesh Shah’s supervision,
for the interested, passionate, motivated and dedicated aspirants, who look
forward to settle their roots in the grounds of financial and technical
industries.
