This comes after the NSE put out an advertisement last week calling for candidates for the MD and CEO role
 
                                                                                            The new chairperson’s biggest challenge will be to make Sebi more democratic by listening to all the stakeholders
 
                                                                                            Madhabi Puri Buch, a former SEBI Whole Time Member, was previously nominated to lead a new technology committee set up by the market regulator.
 
                                                                                            In addition, the flourishing landscape of ESG (environment, social, governance) investments is another major challenge to the capital markets due to absence of uniform ESG evaluation matrices, Ajay Tyagi said.
 
                                                                                            While urging merchant bankers to engage in wider consultations as for a proper balance between the issuers’ aspirations and investors’ interests, Ajay Tyagi also said that "needless to say, SEBI will not shy away from taking required action if it finds any intermediary not adhering to its mandate”.
 
                                                                                            "Insider trading goes against the very basics of trust in the securities market. With all these millions of new investors entering the market, this trust of investors needs to be maintained."
 
                                                                                            Speaking at the inauguration of SEBI’s pavilion at India International Trade Fair on Sunday, Tyagi said, "The decision to implement T+1(trade plus one) settlement in a phased manner beginning February 2022 will go a long way in protecting investors’ interest”.
 
                                                                                            Ajay Tyagi, a 1984 batch IAS officer of Himachal Pradesh cadre, was appointed as SEBI chairman on March 1, 2017, for a period of three years.
 
                                                                                            Ajay Tyagi also highlighted the SEBI's cyber security efforts related to market infrastructure institutions, intermediaries, mutual funds and its internal measures.
 
                                                                                            Zee is witnessing a battle between its largest shareholder Invesco Developing Markets Fund and the original promoters. Invesco wants to remove Punit Goenka, Zee's long time chief executive and managing director, in an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
 
                                                                                            the cumulative investments by AIFs increased from around Rs 1.5 lakh crore to around Rs 2 lakh crore, indicating a growth of 33 per cent in a year, said SEBI chief Ajay Tyagi.
 
                                                                                            The SEBI chief, while speaking at the inaugural session of the 12th edition of Financial Markets Summit, said the IPO market price discovery was not as transparent and efficient as secondary market price discovery.
 
                                                                                            Funds raised via IPOs in FY22 till-date are almost equal to what was raised in FY21, which was Rs 46,000 crore, the SEBI Chairman Ajay Tyagi said. During the last 18 months, technology companies have raised 15,000 crore through IPOs.
 
                                                                                            SEBI Chairman Tyagi said shareholder activism is good for everyone, especially minority shareholders
 
                                                                                            The success of IPOs from new-age tech companies will attract more funds and help create a new ecosystem of entrepreneurs and investors, SEBI chairman Ajay Tyagi said
 
                                                                                            While a REIT comprises a portfolio of commercial real assets, a major portion of which are already leased out, InvITs comprise a portfolio of infrastructure assets such as highways, power transmission assets.
 
                                                                                            I think a lot of mutual funds have really, very successfully introduced schemes, which basically allow the Indian investors to participate in opportunities outside of India, says Tyagi.
 
                                                                                            The Sebi chairman said foreign portfolio investor (FPI) behaviour had changed drastically after the pandemic.
 
                                                                                            SEBI chief noted that the increase in demat accounts from 4 to 5 crore took only 10 months as compared to 28 months for the incremental three to four crores.
 
                                                                                            Moneycontrol digs deep and breaks down the investment vehicle that became a smash hit in the US market in 2020 and taken the global deal street by storm. Can India join the frenzy?
 
                                                                                            Under the proposal, the new BRSR format covering ESG perspective would be applicable for the top 1,000 listed entities by market capitalisation.
 
                                                                                            SEBI had moved the apex court seeking direction to the firms to pay the amount of over Rs 62,602 crore in compliance with the court's earlier orders, failing which the group's chief Subrata Roy be taken into custody.
 
                                                                                            Addressing members of industry body Amfi (Association of Mutual Funds in India) Tyagi said, debt mutual funds must remember at all times that there is a difference between 'investing' and 'lending' "Mutual funds are not banks and shouldn't attempt to behave like one," Tyagi added.
 
                                                                                            Keeping the markets functioning smoothly during the lockdown period will go down as one of his biggest achievements
 
                                                                                            In India, about 97 per cent of the issuance and trading in corporate bond market is in just the top rated categories, Tyagi said.
