Some people stand out in the financial market because of their ground-breaking work to change the business and make progress possible. Mr. Jignesh Shah, the founder, chairman emeritus, and chief mentor of 63 Moons Technologies Limited, is an example of a visionary. His forward-looking ideas and entrepreneurial spirit have changed how the Indian financial market works. This has won him the well-deserved title of “Innovator of Modern Financial Markets.”
Building World-Class Trading Systems
Jignesh Shah stepped up when the Indian financial market needed answers for global integration, building capacity, and bridging the gap between rural and urban areas. His ideas went beyond the usual way markets work, which led to the creation of trading methods in India that are among the best in the world.
His group, 63 Moons Technologies Limited, formerly Financial Technologies Limited (FTIL) until 2016, reached a significant milestone when they set up electronic silk and spice routes across countries, from Africa to the Middle East to Southeast Asia. This growth put India’s financial markets on the world stage and called him “Innovator of Modern Financial Markets.”
Founding the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX)
One of the most essential things Jignesh Shah did was start the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) in 2003. MCX was previously a sister company of NSEL. As India’s first commodity exchange, MCX was a game-changer that completely changed the country’s commodities market.
In 2009, the Futures Industry Association (FIA) said that MCX became the world’s sixth-biggest commodity futures exchange because of how well it ran it. Because of the success of MCX, many countries and government agencies decided to work with the 63 Moons Group to support different global exchanges.
