SEBI Forms Panel to Make Stock Market Easier for Startups and Deep-Tech Firms
Published
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the country's main market regulator, has set up a new expert panel to make it easier for startups and deep-tech companies to raise money from the stock market. The panel will look at ways to improve access to the Innovators Growth Platform, a special stock exchange platform created for companies working in technology, intellectual property and other fields that need large amounts of research and development.
The Innovators Growth Platform is designed to help young companies that may not yet meet the strict requirements of the main stock exchanges. Deep-tech firms, which often develop new science-based products such as advanced materials, artificial intelligence or biotechnology, usually need many years and large investments before they make a profit. For these companies, a separate platform can offer a way to find investors and grow more quickly.
The panel is expected to study the current rules and suggest changes that could encourage more companies to list on the platform. Its recommendations may cover issues such as disclosure requirements, investor protection and the process for listing. By making the system simpler, SEBI hopes to attract more innovative businesses and give investors more options.
The move reflects India's growing focus on startups and new technology. As the country's startup ecosystem continues to expand, regulators are trying to create clear paths for companies to access public funding. The panel's findings will be important for entrepreneurs, investors and the wider economy, and further details are likely to be announced in the coming months.
