Prakash Kacholia

With over 35 years in the ever-evolving world of capital markets, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing and shaping its growth from the ground up.

A Chartered Accountant by qualification (ICAI, 1987), and a lifelong student of markets, I’ve spent my career navigating the intricate dance of numbers, strategy, and governance. From serving on the SEBI Committee on Derivatives to guiding institutions like the Bombay Stock Exchange, CDSL, and BOI Shareholding Ltd., I’ve always believed in the power of well-governed, transparent financial systems to drive real economic impact.

I’ve worn multiple hats over the years - as a Director, an Audit Committee member, an advisor to the NSE, and currently as a Board Member at West Coast Paper Mills Ltd. What ties all these roles together is a simple philosophy: build trust, act with integrity, and stay curious.

Beyond the boardroom, I enjoy deep conversations about market behavior, policy shifts, and how technology continues to challenge conventional wisdom in finance.

Let’s connect; I’m always open to sharing insights, learning from others, and exploring what’s next for India’s financial ecosystem.
