Meet Tuhin Kanta Pandey, the babu who led Air India’s sale, now SEBI’s new head

Tuhin Kanta Pandey has been appointed as the 11th Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), taking over from Madhabi Puri Buch. A seasoned bureaucrat, Pandey steps in at a time of market turbulence, with foreign investors pulling out billions. His extensive experience in finance, privatisation, and economic policy will be critical in shaping SEBIs future. Meanwhile, Buch, Indias first female SEBI chief, leaves behind a legacy of reforms, but not without controversy. This transition marks a crucial phase for Indias financial markets.
