Didn’t get it. Why is that conflict of interest?
ICICI is involved in Adani case?

You are not supposed to be taking money from someone who you are supposed to regulate and supervise. It is like Police doing hafta vasooly from Mohalla gangs.

She is a thief. How come being a sebi chief she owns an investment firm and invests in adani share. The rule clearly says that a sebi chief can't own any firm that involves investment. This can create a conflict of interest and can give a favour to the company if the company is involved in irregularities.

ICICI Bank has had shady past anyway, so it doesn’t come as a surprise. I am pretty sure there will be some bigger expose coming against them in future too. P.S.- The Bank had tried to defraud me too. I was able to get my money back after one whole year, after complaining to RBI Ombudsman / RTI etc Fraudulence runs in their blood (culture).

Not here to defend Madhabi but the kind of misinformation waving through this privileged group forced me to write this -

  1. Somebody wrote she owns investment firm after becoming SEBI member/chairman

She transferred all the shares to her husband before becoming the member. All those documentation are in public domain. Plus those investments were going to a professionally managed 3-party fund. I know some people might jump that why can’t she introduce that 3-party fund to shadow her misdoings. A simple answer to that is - The fund was operating before her family investments.

  1. Another guy wrote how can she receive money from ICICI

Read the statement from ICICI Bank, it’s the ESOPs (Maybe RSUs) maturity happened over irregular intervals of time

Having said all of this, I am not saying Madhabi is super clean. Just she won’t do above two things as they are easily catchable, icici being a public company goes through all audits. Similarly, tracking investment money trail for a resident Indian is easy. At her level, she won’t play such loose game.

The intention here is to help people understand better details to make meaningful arguments in a democracy.

  1. Another one said she’s responsible for Sony-Zee merger disintegration

Subash (chairman of Zee) is a BJP leader, zee is notoriously famous for diverting investors' vote against the CEO. Check how many DIIs own Z.
