That is a quotation from the Financial Times, not my quote. In fact I don't agree with much that is stated in the report, as I have mentioned in another blog post. In short, you need to direct your queries to a) the authors of the report b) the director, IIM-A - for your very valid issues. Good luck.

I find that all your issues are rhetorical questions, so I guess you are not looking for answers. BTW, losing battle is a figure of speech - you don't need to be in battle to be in a losing battle.

What can an academician do but point towards what is right and what is wrong - I do that for SEBI regulations (as I did before joining SEBI) you can see my articles before joining SEBI criticising aspects of regulations and enforcement of SEBI. I also do that (expose the right from the wrong) for the sad issue of suppression of orders of SEBI as I have explained and the sadder suppression by the media of the events which took place - because the media is beholden to powerful people.

Believe me you have reason to be insecure and anonymous.

I never had the powers to pass orders in SEBI. The investigation and the long first order were passed long before I joined SEBI and the two member panel after I left. Even if I time-travelled and upgraded myself to a whole time member and then passed the order - how is that my \'interest in this subject\'? Not only is the comment delusional but also irrelevant. But I\'m glad the Board is recruiting people to post anonymous comments on my blog - good signs that it is making a difference.

Though I might be fighting a losing battle - my institute itself has invited the SEBI Chair to speak at the distinguished IIMA Confluence event as keynote speaker.

Thank you for pointing this out. Sandeep

I don't think the idea is very complex and therefore the 18 plus trigger points are in my opinion wholly pointless complexity. If I could design the regulations, it would only have 2 trigger points, one at say 15% with a creeping acquisition permitted upto 75% (where creeping is available at points below 15% as well). The second trigger would be on breaching the creeping limit. There would be no further trigger points. Also no one can make a tender offer beyond the 55% level, so that a 20% tender offer would be consistent with a 25% public float (there is expected to be a uniform public float for all companies according to a paper published by the Ministry of Finance).

I guess, they have better things to do than clear mirages in the desert. Sandeep
