CtrlS Datacenters supports BSE’s digital infrastructure handling 700 Cr daily transactions

CtrlS Datacenters Ltd has entered into a partnership with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), providing the digital infrastructure required to support the daily processing of over 700 crore transactions.  

With trading now primarily conducted through electronic systems, reliable data centre infrastructure has become essential to financial institutions. CtrlS provides the digital backbone that supports BSE’s core operations, enabling the exchange to function securely and efficiently. The systems in place are designed to meet the demands of a growing investor base and the increasing complexity of financial transactions.

Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Founder and CEO of CtrlS Datacenters, noted that the scale of BSE’s operations reflects the importance of dependable digital systems in safeguarding the country’s financial stability. He emphasised the need for secure, high-speed infrastructure to manage such a high volume of transactions.

Sundararaman Ramamurthy, Managing Director and CEO of BSE, said that having robust data centre support is crucial in ensuring that operations remain uninterrupted, particularly given the shift to electronic trading.  

Founded in 1875, BSE is Asia’s first and largest stock exchange and currently ranks sixth globally by market capitalisation. It lists over 5,500 companies with a combined market value of around ₹400 lakh crore ($4.6 trillion). Its benchmark index, the Sensex, is one of the most widely tracked indicators of India’s economic performance.

BSE has also played a key role in supporting small and medium enterprises, helping more than 560 companies raise over ₹9,000 crore through its SME platform. Its subsidiary, India INX, located in GIFT City, offers international trading services with 22-hour daily operations. 

Meanwhile, CtrlS is expanding rapidly, with over 15 data centres across 10 cities, including Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Patna, Bhopal, Kolkata and Lucknow. Plans are underway to further expand into GIFT City, Bhubaneswar, and Guwahati, reinforcing its national presence. CEO Pinnapureddy stated in a February TechCircle interview that the company intends to double its 4,000-employee workforce within three years.
