Sebi revoked a research analyst’s licence after finding he was operating a grocery business, highlighting stricter enforcement against misuse of market registrations and reinforcing accountability standards across the advisory industry.
India’s securities regulator has cancelled the registration of a licensed research analyst after discovering that he was primarily running a grocery shop instead of conducting regulated market research.
