During his session at Marwadi University, he urged students to balance ambition with informed decision-making.

India : “Don’t ask for tips, do your research.” With this emphatic message, Shri Sundararaman Ramamurthy, Managing Director & CEO of BSE Ltd., addressed students at an interactive session hosted by Marwadi University, Rajkot. The event gave young learners a rare opportunity to engage directly with the head of Asia’s oldest stock exchange, who shared his views on responsible investing, India’s growth trajectory, and the role of youth in shaping the future.

Speaking on the importance of financial awareness, Ramamurthy urged students to rely on research and informed judgment rather than market speculation. “You want to trade a stock? Don’t ask for tips. Go and do research. Whether that stock is good, bad, or ugly… information is available equally to all. Youth with money in their pockets generally feel on top of the world. But unknowingly, be walking in darkness. That is why discipline, awareness, and responsibility are critical when it comes to financial decisions,” he said. He further reflected on India’s remarkable economic journey, noting that within one lifetime the country has transformed from scarcity to abundance, and urged the next generation to balance ambition with responsibility.

As one of Gujarat’s leading higher education institutions, Marwadi University has consistently sought to bridge academia with industry by inviting thought leaders and practitioners from across sectors. With over 10,000 students from diverse disciplines, the university is recognized for its strong focus on innovation, research, and holistic education. Sessions such as this are part of its ongoing effort to prepare students not only for professional success but also for meaningful participation in India’s growth story.

Dhruv Marwadi, Trustee, Marwadi University, said, “Engagements like these allow our students to learn directly from the leaders driving India’s growth story. Mr. Ramamurthy’s insights on responsibility, awareness, and ambition align with our vision of preparing students to be not only skilled professionals but also responsible citizens.”

The session concluded with the reminder that today’s students are tomorrow’s nation-builders, and with the right guidance, they are equipped to carry forward India’s journey of growth with integrity and purpose.
