“We welcome this investment from Societe Generale, which in conjunction with their earlier announcement to become an execution and clearing member of the GMEX exchange, emphasises the value of our proposition. We look forward to working with all our partners as we continue to position ourselves to meet the needs of the market across the investment management, banking and futures trading community,” said Hirander Misra, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of GMEX Group.
