In an acknowledgement of the role and importance of media in everyday life, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on June 26, 2015 got a journalist to ring the opening bell for the first time in its 140-year history. Arnab Goswami, President - News and Editor-In-Chief, Times Now and ET Now, rang the bell to mark the opening of proceedings at BSE on Friday. He was accompanied by Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO, BSE, along with other officials of the exchange.

Speaking on the occasion, Chauhan said, “We are pleased to have Arnab Goswami at the Bombay Stock Exchange for the opening bell-ringing ceremony. This event marks another significant milestone for Asia's oldest stock exchange as it celebrates its 140th anniversary, and Goswami's presence has enhanced the celebrations.”

Goswami added here, “I am happy that someone from the media has been given the honour to ring the opening bell at this august institution, and I am humbled to have been chosen for it. This is the most important financial institution in the business capital of India, and is a place where great capital and wealth are generated for the nation. This year, BSE is celebrating 140 eventful years, and on behalf of the entire media fraternity, I wish it all the best.”
