The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM), in collaboration with NSE, BSE, NSDL and CDSL, hosted “Samvad”, a two-day symposium on the securities market themed “Capital for Growth” in Mumbai. The event brought together officials, regulators, industry participants and academics to discuss the evolving dynamics of India’s securities markets and their role in economic growth, including remarks from SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch. The programme was structured around panel discussions and sessions spanning capital formation, investor awareness and transparency, Social Stock Exchange (SSE) 2.0, and the future of market intermediaries including digitisation and artificial intelligence. Further sessions covered deepening the corporate bond market, financial inclusion through securities markets, expanding markets beyond equities and asset allocation across instruments, the future role of RegTech and SupTech in supervision and compliance, and approaches to balancing supply and demand in infrastructure financing. SEBI positioned the symposium as part of its consultation and collaboration approach to addressing policy challenges and opportunities. The proceedings will be archived on SEBI’s website for later viewing.
