Saurov Ghosh joins National Stock Exchange as group head-HR

Ghosh has moved from Aditya Birla Group, where he was the CHRO – textiles, spinning & acrylic fibre..

Saurov Ghosh has joined the National Stock Exchange of India as the group head-HR. He filled the position lying vacant since June this year after the exit of chief people officer Chandrasekhar Mukherjee.

Ghosh has spent close to 10 years at the Aditya Birla Group. First as head & executive VP-HR and training with Birla Sunlife Insurance, and then as CHRO for textiles, spinning & acrylic fibre business – a position he has held since 2014.

Talking about his move, Ghosh says, “It was great having spent almost 10 years at Aditya Birla Group, but I’ve always wanted to work with diverse industries, and NSE came as an opportunity at a very interesting time. Joining NSE at a time when the whole economy is looking into a growth trajectory, with investors showing huge interest in India, brought great prospects of doing meaningful work for further growth of the organisation and its people.”
