Sebi chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey recently stated that the organization will now take into account the employee conflicts of interests because, “for sebi as well, transparency is important”.
This was part of the chairpersons first public speech while head of the Securities and Exchange Board of India during the Moneycontrol Global Wealth Summit 2025.
Another important aspect of his address was trust and transparency while making it clear how important it is in all dealings. He mentioned these four key points, “Trust, Transparency, Teamwork and Technology.” During his address he said, “Teamwork is more than what is internal, rather, it extends beyond SEBI.”
He also touched on the importance for developing policies, using technology, increasing investor knowledge, and promoting financial inclusiveness.
He explained that reforms do not always have to be “big bang” as even tiny reforms can prove to be helpful. “SEBI will use a mix of small and big reforms,” he remarked.
Pandey explained that the regualtor will not work towards “building the highest walls,” but rather seek “to place the right walls in the correct positions.”
He noted that the regulator will enhance service delivery while protecting investors’ interests with the aid of technology, and will work towards supporting innovation and improving efficiency and transparency.
“Sebi has taken steps to mitigate risks in the system to enhance investor protection. Generally, these reforms are directed towards enhancing efficiency and transparency in the market. The regulator has applied technology extensively for this purpose,” Pandey said.
The regulator will also work towards heightened investor education. “An informed investor is well protected,” said Pandey, adding that more work will be done in this area by the regulator.
He emphasized the need for educating the public on managing risks and wealth, and how they need to proportionately allocate their capital in both equity and debt instruments.
He appreciates the efforts of many domestic investors who seem to be deepening the capital markets and further added that the regulator also wishes to facilitate foreign investments. “In order to achieve the desired targets, ‘both local and international investors must be brought in’”, he stated.
“Currently, we understand the necessity of having the right conditions in place to attract foreign investment,” he stressed the importance of welcoming international funding.
“He, however, said, “I will be happy to speak with FPIs and AIFs to discuss the need to relax the regulatory and operational constraints imposed on them.”
