The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM), in collaboration with the NSE, BSE, NSDL, and CDSL, hosted 'Samvad', a two-day symposium on the securities market, themed 'Capital for Growth 2025', at the NSE in Mumbai. The event was streamed live by NISM, NSE, BSE, NSDL, and CDSL.
The symposium brought together a distinguished group of experts, including government officials, regulators, industry leaders, market experts, and academics, for wide-ranging discussions on the evolving dynamics of India’s securities market and its crucial role in driving economic growth, as per a statement from NSE.
The event was attended by Suman Bery, Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog, who served as the Chief Guest, with Challa Sreenivasulu Setty, Chairperson of SBI, delivering the keynote address. Madhabi Puri Buch, Chairperson of SEBI, also addressed the gathering, sharing her vision for the future of India’s capital markets.
The inaugural day featured four panel discussions under the overarching theme "Plotting the Future Path", moderated by SEBI’s Whole-Time Members. The discussions covered critical areas, including ideas on capital formation, building trust through awareness and transparency for investors, the social stock exchange (SSE) 2.0 and scaling social impact, and the future of market intermediaries, focusing on the adoption of digitisation and AI.
The day concluded with valuable insights on facilitating greater capital formation, strengthening investor awareness and transparency, augmenting the existing social stock exchange mechanism, and leveraging technology to improve operational efficiencies across the market ecosystem.
The second day, held under the theme "Reflections and Ideas", featured five thought-provoking sessions. NSE stated that the ideas emerging from this symposium would contribute significantly to achieving sustainable economic growth, deepening market resilience, and enhancing investor confidence in the securities market.
