Mumbai : Asia’s oldest stock exchange BSE will get its own postage stamp, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said today.
“In acceding to your request to have postal stamp, I am feeling happy, as it is the official recognition of the work you are doing,” Prasad said at an event to launch BSE’s free wi-fi services to public here.
