Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), visited the BSE booth on the first day of the India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2025, held on 14 November in New Delhi. He was accompanied by other top brass of Sebi, including Shri G. Ram Mohan Rao, Executive Director and Shri Vijayant Kumar Verma, Regional Director. The delegation was welcomed by BSE MD & CEO, Sundararaman Ramamurthy, and Public Interest Director, Rajiv Bansal.

During the visit, the SEBI delegation commended the BSE’s ongoing efforts to strengthen investor education and awareness nationwide. 

Sebi, as part of its continued efforts to showcase India’s well-regulated securities market and to promote financial literacy and investor awareness, has set up a pavilion titled “Bharat Ka Share Bazaar” at IITF as well. The pavilion was set up in association  with BSE, NSE, CDSL, NSDL, AMFI, NISM, NCDEX, MCX, CAMS, and KFin Technologies. 

The Pavilion showcases SEBI’s continuous efforts toward investor protection and market integrity while making financial education interactive and experiential. It features  Live Demo Zones and an Investor Service Centre where visitors can explore real-time investor services—verifying intermediaries, understanding SEBI’s digital initiatives and learning about safe investment practices. 

Throughout the fair, Sebi, market infrastructure institutions (MIIs), Industry associations and NISM will organise a series of engaging activities, including expert talk shows,  interactive quizzes, skits, muppet shows and live demonstrations of investor-friendly facilities.  These initiatives aim to make financial literacy engaging, experiential, and inclusive while also cautioning the public against illegal money mobilisation schemes and fraudulent investment offerings.
