A majority of chief executive officers (CEOs) in India favour moving to a half-yearly reporting of earnings - from quarterly now - aligning with United States (US) President Donald Trump's recent suggestion, though mutual fund leaders are opposed to the idea, according to a Business Standard dipstick survey.

Eleven CEOs and as many MF heads took part in the survey.

On September 15, Trump endorsed a proposal by the LongTerm Stock Exchange to reduce reporting frequency, arguing it would cut costs and allow management to focus on business execution. On Monday, US Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins said the proposal would give companies the option to report on a semiannual basis, though many firms might still choose to publish quarterly results. However, regulator sources in India suggest there is no such proposal being considered at present.

Despite a 30 per cent crypto tax and 1 percent tax deducted at source (TDS), the market remains youth-driven, with investors aged 26-35 contributing 45 per cent of total investments. In a video interview with Peerzada Abrar, Singhal discusses demographic trends, regulatory challenges, and the shift from speculative trading to long-term investing. Edited excerpts:
