SEBI’s new chairman has signalled a major shift: making corporate disclosures simpler, clearer, and easier for ordinary investors to understand. The goal is ambitious—countering the growing influence of unregulated finfluencers who now shape the investment decisions of a majority of retail participants.
In this audio, Sucheta Dalal examines whether Securities and Exchange Board of India can reclaim investor trust through transparency, concise disclosures, and possibly AI-driven information tools—at a time when social media hype often carries more weight than official filings.
The audio explores why timing matters, how India’s fragmented filing system compares with the US EDGAR model, and whether SEBI can truly deliver investor-friendly transparency without political pressure, regulatory capture, or dilution of sensitive disclosures.
