MYSORE: Infosys Technologies Limited today opened The NASDAQ Stock Market from the Infosys campus in Mysore, India. The event marked the first time that The NASDAQ Stock Market was opened by a company in India. Broadcast live from the Infosys campus in Mysore, India to NASDAQ's MarketSite tower in Times Square, New York City, the opening signaled that the world is flattening and India is part of the global economic community. Infosys was the first Indian company to be listed on the NASDAQ in 1999. To mark Infosys' 25th anniversary, the bell was rung by N R Narayana Murthy, chairman and chief mentor; Nandan M Nilekani, CEO, president and managing director, Infosys; Montek Singh Ahluwalia, deputy chairman, Planning Commission, Government of India and Bob Greifeld, president and CEO, The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Opening Bell is a ceremonial event that represents the essence of NASDAQ's virtual market model. Since NASDAQ's operations are entirely electronic, it can be opened from any location around the world, symbolically bringing together investors and market participants at the beginning of each trading day. “Twenty-five years ago, we founded Infosys with a vision of the global delivery model. That vision has been validated as the tide of globalization has swept across the world and businesses are dramatically changing how they run their organizations,” said N R Narayana Murthy. “Though the NASDAQ Stock Market is US-based, our charter and scope are global. India is increasingly becoming a driving force in the global economy and companies like Infosys are leading the charge. Infosys has added another milestone today by becoming the first company to remotely ring the NASDAQ Opening Bell from India,” said Bob Greifeld, president and chief executive officer, The NASDAQ Stock Market. © CyberMedia News
