In her Foundation Day lecture at IIM Bangalore, SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch highlights the role of Data and Technology in the Capital Market
28 October, 2022, Bengaluru: “SEBI is at the forefront of regulators globally in using data to enhance investor safety and confidence,” said Ms. Madhabi Puri Buch, Chairperson of the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI), while delivering the Foundation Day lecture on ‘Data and Technology in the Capital Market’, during IIMB’s 49th Foundation Day celebrations, this morning. The IIMB community of faculty, former faculty, alumni, students and staff were part of the event.
Observing that regulated organizations generate a lot of data, she said: “If the regulator collects the right data from the regulated entities, it is possible, even with simple algorithms and the adoption of appropriate technology, to identify and track market malpractices.”
Technology, she explained, has contributed immensely to protection of market security in terms of risk management for investors. “It also helps facilitate cost reduction, financial inclusion and ease of doing business.”
Her engaging address was followed by an interactive session during which, in response to questions from the audience, she spoke about ‘finfluencers’, co-location, wrongdoings like insider trading, fraudulent transactions, front running, and information asymmetry in the context of the capital market.
