Ramkrishna will replace NSE's long-serving head Ravi Narain. She is currently his deputy as joint managing director.

Narain will continue to guide the exchange as non-executives vice-chairman, the NSE announced. ''The vice-chairmanship of Narain in non-executive capacity will be effective from 1 April 2013. In his capacity as vice-chairman, he will continue on the board of NSE,'' said an NSE release from Mumbai.

"The board had been engaged with Ravi Narain over a period of time regarding a further tenure. However, he has been indicating his inability to the board to accept any further extension of his tenure," said the release.

Chitra (49), a chartered accountant, has been with NSE since its inception 1991. She was part of the core five-member team selected by the government to create a screen based pan-Indian stock exchange.

The first managing director of the exchange, R H Patil, had reportedly hand-picked Narain and Chitra from the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) to set up the exchange.
