NASADAQ posts Indian Indian Tri-color on August 15, 2005

NASADAQ posts Indian Tri-color on August 15, 2005

It was nice to see the front part of NASDAQ stock exchange sporting a huge tri-color Indian flag and the signage “NASDAQ Celebrates Indian Independence Day” on its Market-Site - a seven-stories high high-tech cylindrical electronic display outside its Times square Building in New York City, the global financial capital - on August 15, 2005. It is a very satisfying moment for all of us – the proud Indians.

NASDAQ is the world’s largest screen-based securities market that is home to thousands of global high-tech companies that include our own Infosys, Rediff & Sify as well as the IT majors Intel, Microsoft and Oracle.

Bangalore is the 4th location for NASDAQ after UK, Japan and Brazil.

The only other time when NASDAQ had an Indian theme was when Vivek Kulkarni, IAS, the then IT Secretary of Karnataka managed to get the Karnataka picture on Market-Site in the year 2002
