Spoke at @IICAOfficial this week in Goa as part of the Directors Certification Master Class. One line I came back to throughout: the standard for an independent director in India is not omniscience. It is contemporaneous diligence, documented at every meaningful decision point. After Fortis, Vishal Ahuja and MPS Infotecnics, the test for an independent director has shifted from "did you know" to "did you do the work a prudent director would have done".

I have a piece with @perkygarg and @yashweredone in today's @FinancialXpress on the newly notified data privacy law and its impact on the financial market, and securities market in particular. "What emerges is a regulatory architecture in transition, shifting from a retention-based model to one centred on rights, proportionality and accountability."
We’re growing. @FinsecLaw Advisors is now in Bengaluru - strengthening our presence in one of India’s most dynamic financial and fintech hubs.
Delighted to have @Nishant_Prasad lead our new office. His depth in securities law, regulation, and governance will help us deliver sharper, practical legal insight. Nishant is an alum of NALSAR and a director on the board of Online Bond Platform Providers (OBPP) Association.
A new chapter begins. #FinsecLaw #Bengaluru #SecuritiesLaw @anilchoudhary@parker_karia@AniketSingh1310

I have a podcast with @HansiMehrotra (a @zerodha/@Rainmatterin initiative on investor education), where we discuss the differences in approach of US and India with respect to investor protection and market infrastructure.
I have a piece with @AniketSingh1310 and @perkygarg in today’s @FinancialXpress on the new RBI law on co-lending - which will be a big enabler of cooperation between banks/NBFCs and fintech players. @FinsecLaw
I have a piece with @PurvaMandale in today’s @EconomicTimes that re-classifying Real Estate Investment Trusts and Invit instruments as equity would unlock a lot of capital to be directed towards real estate infrastructure. It also follows some of the global practices of classifying REIT/InvITs as equity rather than hybrids. @FinsecLaw
I have a piece with @AniketSingh1310 and @yashweredone Vardhan in today's @FinancialXpress on SEBI's Hobson's choice on dealing with new age manipulation, the likes of pump and dump schemes.
What an incredible day at the REITS – Asset Tokenisation Conclave 2025!
Our Founder & CEO, @thekalangi, spoke on the panel “Tokenisation in Real Estate: Bridging Emerging Technology, Financial Innovation & Legal Frameworks,” sharing how blockchain is reshaping the real estate industry across borders and asset classes.
Key themes discussed:
• Unlocking liquidity in traditionally illiquid assets
• Enabling transparency and security through smart contracts
• Democratizing access to real estate investment globally
• Navigating regulatory landscapes with a compliance-first approach
Prasanth also outlined @zoniqxinc's work across jurisdictions, asset classes, and infrastructure projects, and highlighted how the next evolution in India post-#REITs and SM REITs will be #realestatetokenization, with #Zoniqx at the forefront.
🙏 Special thanks to:

Grateful to @vishdhawan, founding director of Association of Registered Investment Advisors (@aria_india1) for joining us for our 7th of the series of podcasts: ‘Decoding with @FinsecLaw’. Hope there are learnings for the way forward for investment advisors.
In the latest episode of ‘Decoding with Finsec’, we critically examine the evolution of regulatory architecture under SEBI’s former chairperson, with a focus on the regulator's key achievements and challenges faced in the broader ecosystem.
As Mr. Tuhin Pandey assumes office as the new SEBI chairperson, we discuss the core issues and opportunities that lie ahead for the regulator.
Join us as we unpack the legacy left behind and the expectations for the next chapter.
Was delighted to speak at a panel put together by the thoughtful leadership at @IiASAdvisory on the shrinking gap between board and management. With @AmitTandon_in Shikha Sharma and Sandeep Menon.
