Sebi launches 'Proxy Advisory Recommendations' on Investor App, backs stronger market surveillance

On July 7, 2025, the CDSL & NDSL introduced a new feature in their investor apps, enabling retail investors to access InGovern recommendations directly within e-voting platforms. This initiative is designed to empower investors by enhancing participation in corporate resolutions and increasing board accountability.

SEBI Chairman, Tuhin Kanta Pandey, highlighted that voting on shareholder resolutions is a powerful tool for investors to hold management accountable. Proxy advisory firms play an important role. They facilitate investors to make informed decisions. He added that "We are taking a new initiative to provide proxy advisory recommendations to each and every individual in the unified investor app of depositories. They have full control to modify any recommendation and resolution before submitting it to the board."

InGovern’s vote recommendation reports are now integrated with e-voting platforms, making it easier for retail investors to review and act on resolutions. This development is a key step toward fostering greater shareholder engagement and responsibility in India's capital markets.
