Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is the largest stock exchange in India and 8th largest in the world. Where do you think that BSE must have been established? A big Bunglow? A villa? A multi-storey building? Atleast at a small building? No. It is interesting to note that it was established under a Banyan Tree!!!!! Surprising but true.
In 1850s, four Gujrathi and one Parsi stockbroker used to gather under banyan trees in front of Mumbai Townhall. Later the places constantly got shifted with the increase in the number of brokers and finally got moved to Dalal Street. Today it is housed in Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers, Dalal Street, Fort Area.
