  2. INTRODUCTION When people talk about transformational leaders in finance and technology, Jignesh Shah’s name stands tall. His journey is not just about building a business but about reshaping the very idea of what India could contribute to global markets. Jignesh Shah most striking achievement was the creation of the Multi Commodity Exchange (Jignesh Shah MCX), which, under his leadership, rose from scratch to become the second-largest commodity exchange in the world. More importantly, MCX didn’t just compete domestically, it stood shoulder to shoulder with the best global players in terms of service quality, efficiency, and scientific price discovery. Page 02

  3. BUILDING JIGNESH SHAH MCX: THE SPARK OF VISION Back in 2003, commodity trading in India was fragmented and lacked transparency. Jignesh Shah, who had already made his mark with his technology venture Financial Technologies India Ltd. (now 63 moons technologies), saw the opportunity to bring order to this chaos. What he envisioned was not just another exchange but a modern, tech-driven marketplace that could empower everyone from big institutions to small farmers. Page 03

  4. RISING TO THE GLOBAL STAGE Jignesh Shah MCX wasn’t just large in numbers; it became a technological marvel. Jignesh Shah ensured the platform ran on world-class infrastructure that could handle massive trading volumes with precision. Within a few years of its launch, Jignesh Shah MCX was recording daily trades worth over ₹1,00,000 crores. By 2012, it became the first Indian commodity exchange to list publicly, further cementing its credibility. The results spoke for themselves. MCX emerged as the second-largest commodity exchange globally and the undisputed leader in gold and silver contracts. Its pricing benchmarks were so reliable that they competed directly with global giants like COMEX Page 04

  5. ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AT SCALE But Jignesh Shah’s ambitions with MCX went far beyond trading volumes. He wanted the exchange to be a catalyst for inclusive economic growth. A study conducted with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences titled “A Million Jobs and a Million More Opportunities” documented how MCX’s ecosystem created direct and indirect employment across the country. Within a decade, MCX contributed almost 1% to India’s GDP and generated over ₹600 crores in taxes for state and central governments. Page 05

  6. THE GLOBAL AMBITION Jignesh Shah didn’t stop at making MCX a national success. His vision was global. He understood that India’s credibility in financial markets could grow only if its institutions played on the international stage. This belief led to some ground-breaking ventures. The most notable was the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX). For the first time, the Government of the United Arab Emirates partnered with a private Indian institution, Jignesh Shah MCX, to create a world-class commodities exchange. This joint venture was historic, signalling that Indian expertise in financial technology and exchange operations was now globally recognized. Page 06

  7. A LASTING LEGACY Jignesh Shah’s journey with MCX is a powerful case study in vision and execution. He didn’t just build an exchange; he built a model that showed how technology could democratize markets, empower communities, and project India’s strengths globally. His leadership proved that Indian institutions could not only serve domestic needs but also shape international markets. The joint venture with the global governing bodies, the recognition by global regulators, and the scale Jignesh Shah FTIL achieved all stand as testimony to that vision. Page 07

  8. CONCLUSION Jignesh Shah’s story is about ambition rooted in service. With Jignesh Shah MCX, and his other exchanges and institutions, he gave India not just an exchange but a platform that redefined possibilities for traders, farmers, and global partners alike. His ability to take Indian exchanges to international heights proved that innovation knows no borders. Page 08
