The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) in BKC is the world's largest derivatives exchange and India's largest equity exchange, a landmark of the country's post-liberalisation economic transformation. The modern building in the Bandra Kurla Complex houses thousands of traders and is a major employer in the district. The adjacent Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), India's oldest exchange, is located in the Fort area.
While the exchanges themselves are not open for public tours, the presence of the financial district in BKC has generated a cluster of good restaurants and coffee shops catering to the area's professional community. The modern architecture of BKC, including the unusual curved buildings of the NSE campus, is of interest to urban architecture enthusiasts.
