New Delhi, November 19, 2014: National Stock Exchange, India’s leading stock exchange, has won the CII-EXIM Bank Prize for Business Excellence-2014, in recognition of its outstanding efforts in adopting excellent frameworks in its systems and processes, setting higher benchmarks and regularly raising the bar for industry standards.

Ms. Chitra Ramkrishna, Managing Director & CEO, NSE received the CII-EXIM Bank Prize for Business Excellence-2014 from Ajay Shankar, Member Secretary, National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council (NMCC) at the 22nd CII National Quality Summit, held here today.

The CII-EXIM Bank Award for Business Excellence is the most prestigious award that any Indian company aspires for, in the area of business excellence. It recognizes Companies that are leaders in innovative practices, dynamic management, sound financial performance, outstanding employee and customer satisfaction, and a solid commitment to excellence and proven results.

The prize winning company must demonstrate excellence in results with respect to all its stakeholders - employees, customers, society and shareholders, through excellence in leadership, strategy, customer focus, processes and people. NSE was selected after an intensive assessment process by an independent board of examiners on the above listed criteria, modeled on the European Foundation for Quality Management's Award for Business Excellence.

In the last 20 years, only 12 companies have met the threshold criteria to qualify for this prize and NSE is the first company in the BFSI sector and the only exchange to qualify for this prize. Infact no International exchange has so far met the stringent criteria set by the European foundation for Quality management.
