SME IPO Alert ! As per SEBI report, as of October 15, 2024, a total of 1024 companies have been listed on the SME platforms of BSE & NSE, with 322 companies migrating to the Main Board. In the current fiscal year till 15th OCT, over ₹5700 crores have been raised through 159 SME IPOs, showcasing the remarkable potential of the SME Platform. I have always believed that the introduction of the SME Platform has been a game-changer, providing professionally managed SME businesses with access to capital to scale their business. However, the SEBI Report also highlights areas where the platform might be vulnerable to misuse, and the regulator is taking proactive steps to strengthen the system. The consultation paper outlines recommendations that point to a more robust and fair framework for companies looking to tap the SME platform while safeguarding investor interests. Together with Suyog Narvekar, we’ve compiled a synopsis of the key recommendations from the SEBI consultation paper. This is an exciting time for SMEs, and we believe these changes will further empower businesses to grow responsibly and sustainably. #SME #IPO #SEBI #BusinessGrowth #InvestorProtection #CapitalMarkets

After a thorough investigation, #SEBI uncovered: 1️⃣ Diversion of funds through misleading objectives. 2️⃣ Misstatement of financial statements in the prospectus. 3️⃣ Concealment of material facts crucial for investor decision-making. This case stands out amidst the success stories of India's #IPO market, highlighting #SEBI's proactive approach as a vigilant watchdog. By prioritizing transparency and #investorprotection, SEBI reinforces confidence in the financial markets. #InvestorProtection #SEBI #IPOCancelled #TransparencyMatters #CorporateGovernance #IndianMarkets
