BSE and NSE - The two (popular) stock markets in India

[Note that this article is a Work In Progress. I will update it as I dig deeper and get a better understanding of NSE/BSE, the companies listed on the two exchanges, how they make money, their respective financial information etc]

Mind the word "popular" in the title. BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) [1] and NSE (National Stock Exchange) [2] aren't the only stock exchanges in India. There are apparently 9 currently operational stock exchanges in India according to this wikipedia article (which I have verified from the SEBI webpage [4]).

Note that not all stock exchanges are the same. Indian Commodity Exchange Limited (ICEX), Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (MCX) and National Commodities and Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) are only permitted to operate in the Commodity Derivatives Segment by the SEBI.

SEBI, by the way, is the Securities and Exchange Board of India, is the securities market regulator in India. For those of you who aren't Indians, SEBI is like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the USA (I think).

[NOTE : I'm trying to find out the full list of companies listed on the BSE and NSE. So far, I have come upon this BSE webpage which can be used to https://www.bseindia.com/corporates/List_Scrips.aspx - listing of companies trading on the BSE.]

The initial listing fees on the BSE is INR 20,000. The annual listing fees depends on the listing capital of the company. The minimum fees INR 250,000. See particulars here - https://www.bseindia.com/Static/about/listing_fees.aspx

Fun-fact : "ACME Resources Ltd" trades on the Calcutta Stock Exchange. [3]

Farewell to Enthought

I started my professional career at Enthought , at the Pune office in India, on Feb 29, 2016. Over the course of eight long years, I spent time at the Austin office in the US, the Cambridge office in the UK, and I worked remotely from India. I was let go on March 27, 2024 . I had an unbelievably great time. I had three amazing mentors - Pankaj Pandey, Senganal Thirunavukkarasu, and Mark Dickinson. Pankaj mentored me in my first year at Enthought. I started paying attention to the craft of software after working with him. Senganal started mentoring me in my second year at Enthought, and continues to mentor me, even after the both of us have moved on from Enthought. He instilled professionalism in me, ensuring that the code I wrote produced precise scientific results, and that I tackled the known unknown aspects of a project first, to ensure timely communication about project progress. I was eager to manage people at the time and Senganal made me realize that I didn't want to manage ...

Arxiv author affiliations using Python

So, I wanted to get author affiliation information from papers on arXiv. arXiv provides with an API to bulk query their database and get information. Following that, I look for the attribute 'arxiv:affiliation' in the html data. Here's the code - import urllib from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup   url = 'http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=all:astro&start=0&max_results=1000'   data = urllib.urlopen(url).read() soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(data) #print(soup.prettify()) #list = soup.findAll('arxiv:affiliation') #for i in range(len(list)): #        print list[i].contents   test = [tag.string for tag in soup.findAll('arxiv:aiffiliation')] Now, the problem I'm having is that I'm getting affiliation of all authors which I want to split into sets of affiliations of authors of a paper, which I'm stuck on at the moment. Once I get that part, I can move on to the next part of this pet project, displaying these...

Elementary (particle physics), my dear Watson

Ground Control to Major Tom:  Shruti Patel checking in. Since my dear friend and fellow-physicist Rahul Poruri is homeward bound, and shall remain there for a week, I'm stepping in to continue his tradition of daily posts to Astronut . Even as I write, I'm not quite sure what this post is going to be about, so please forgive me for occasional rants and digressions.  By the way Rahul, I totally resent you for the name of this blog- I'm never going to start my own blog because there's no way I'll come up with a name as cool as Astronut! For now, I shall try and be happy with being a guest writer! Before I begin, a little bit on who I am and what I do; so that you can trust that my general views on science- particle physics in particular- are not entirely baseless. I graduated with a masters in Physics from IIT Madras in July this year, and I'm currently working towards (an eventual) PhD with the Theory Group at the Deutsches Electronen-Synchrotron (DESY)...
