Technology will redefine market functioning — from algorithmic trading to investment decisions, he said at the Business Standard BFSI Insight Summit on Friday.

“True resilience lies in foresight — the ability to read trends early, anticipate risks and prepare the system to withstand shocks. Building such capability, both within Sebi and across market institutions, will remain our key priority,” he said.

India’s capital markets have become a pillar of economic growth, underpinned by reforms that have made them more efficient, inclusive and resilient. India’s financial system functions as an interconnected ecosystem linking banks, corporates, mutual funds, insurers, pension funds and fintechs through a web of transactions, he noted.
