Chitra Ramakrishna to be the CEO and MD of  the National Stock Exchage from April 1, 2013.

Ramakrishna figured in the Business Today's list of most powerful women in 2008. This is what the magazine had on her.

Power to her means: Shunning media glare and letting her actions speak for her work.

My most memorable experience at workplace: There has never been a dull moment over the last 15 years -- with Indian markets growing the way they have'"and personally for me as I grew with this institution. NSE has always provided an excellent environment for professionals and that is something I will always cherish.

The biggest turning point in my career was: Getting an opportunity to become a part of the team that set up the National Stock Exchange.When you are a part of the team that created a world-class stock exchange, it's tempting to talk about that success and bask in its glow. But Chitra Ramakrishna, Deputy Managing Director, NSE, has always shunned the spotlight, though she is used to being at the forefront of framing crucial regulations.
