The Bucket List: Realised

An amalgamation of his engineering background, technical aptitude, and the market exposure he received by virtue of his family being associated with stock markets led to Mr. Paras Ajmera’s choice of career. Excerpts from the interview:

Q. Where was your first job? How has the career been?
A. After finishing my studies in the early 1990s, I worked with a stock broker in Ahmedabad to learn the fundamentals of stock markets. Soon, I commenced a stock broking business there. When I joined Financial Technologies, the Group’s unique business model of combining technology with financial markets gave me the opportunity to use my technical expertise in exchange technology solutions and allied infrastructure, as well as domain knowledge in financial markets. My most memorable moment was when we bagged our first customer. 1n 1998, the Group launched ODINTM, our flagship electronic trading solution, a market leader in its segment today. I treasure the journey, from ODINTM’s launch to becoming the ‘Trading Platform of Choice’.

Q. How has FT Group evolved during your tenure?
A. I have been closely involved in product design and engineering. I led the conception, design, and implementation of the Group’s exchange solution – Dome – and brokerage solutions. I am also responsible for the technology and operational set-up powering the Group’s multi-asset exchanges, and a role in strategising and overseeing the Group’s ecosystem venture National Bulk Handling Corporation. I firmly believe in automating processes and continual improvement. I also endorse strict adherence to standards, having been instrumental in our Group companies being certified to ISO standards. I led the implementation of SAP for nine Group companies in a record time of six months. Since 1998, there has been no looking back. The Group has today become a global leader in technology IP and domain expertise for creating next-generation financial markets that are transparent, efficient, and liquid. Click here to continue...
