SEBI chief reaffirms open-door policy for global capital

SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey assures global investors India is a compelling, open destination, highlighting reforms and market stability.

"India remains open and welcoming to global capital. - Tuhin Kanta Pandey"

San Francisco, April 11

In a move to attract foreign investment, Securities and Exchange Board of India chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey has assured global investors that India remains an open and compelling destination for global capital, according to a press release.

Speaking at an interactive session with Silicon Valley stakeholders here, Pandey highlighted India's strong macroeconomic fundamentals, rapidly expanding investor base, and reform-oriented policy environment.

The session, jointly organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Consulate General of India (CGI), San Francisco, brought together industry leaders and venture capitalists to discuss investment opportunities and the evolving India-US economic partnership.

Pandey highlighted recent measures to simplify Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI) registration and Re-KYC, the use of digital platforms, growth of IPOs, and alternative investment funds, and the increasing role of domestic investors in providing market depth and resilience, the release said.

"India remains open and welcoming to global capital. SEBI's approach is risk-based and facilitative, with a strong focus on simplifying access for foreign investors, strengthening market integrity, and ensuring long-term stability of our capital markets," Pandey said, reaffirming SEBI's commitment to a transparent, consultative, and technology-driven regulatory framework.

K Srikar Reddy, Consul General of India, San Francisco, pointed to India's strong macroeconomic fundamentals, reform momentum, and expanding digital public infrastructure.

"India is among the fastest-growing major economies globally, supported by sustained reforms, a vibrant startup ecosystem, and world-class digital public infrastructure," Reddy said, highlighting the importance of strengthening partnerships with global investors.

R Mukundan, President Designate, CII, and Managing Director and CEO, TATA Chemicals, stressed the need for collaboration between government, industry, and global capital to sustain India's growth momentum. "India's progress over the coming decades will depend on collaboration. Global partnerships, especially with the United States, are essential to scaling innovation, strengthening manufacturing, and creating sustainable value," Mukundan said.

The interactive session featured a candid exchange between investors and policymakers, with feedback focusing on simplifying regulatory processes, enhancing clarity in cross-border investment frameworks, and increasing the availability of growth-stage capital for deep-tech ventures.

SEBI and CII acknowledged the inputs and reiterated their commitment to continuous engagement and reform.

Good to see SEBI actively engaging with Silicon Valley. The focus on deep-tech venture capital is needed. But we must ensure our domestic investors and MSMEs also get a fair share of the growth. The balance is key.

"Transparent and consultative" sounds great on paper. My respectful criticism: the on-ground regulatory processes for small investors are still too complex. Hope this facilitative approach trickles down to the common man's SIPs and investments too.

As someone working in cross-border finance, clarity in investment frameworks is the single biggest ask. Glad it was discussed. Stable, long-term policies will attract more patient capital than any short-term incentives.

Strong fundamentals + digital infra + young population = a compelling story. But global capital is fickle. We must build our own market depth and resilience, as mentioned. The rise of domestic investors via SIPs is our real strength.

The India-US economic partnership is vital for tech and supply chain diversification. Sessions like these build much-needed trust. Hope the feedback on simplifying processes is acted upon swiftly.
