Finfluencer Regulation: Can SEBI really bell the cat?

SEBI’s crackdown on finfluencers has intensified. After PR Sundar, the markets regulator penalised Gunjan Verma for providing unregistered investment advice. But what is pushing SEBI to strike hard now and is there a grey area between education and advice? Which sort of content and conversation is acceptable and which is not? Is compliance too cumbersome? Does SEBI need to make compliance easier before ramping up regulation? 

Host Apoorva Mittal from The Economic Times gets all the questions answered from 

• Pranjal Kamra, Youtuber on the impact in the world of finfluencers
• Sandeep Parekh, Managing Partner, Finsec Law Advisors on the grey areas and the need to reduce compliance burden while adding regulation 
• Swapnil Saurav, CEO & Co-Founder, Rigi Club on what it will mean for monetising content from now onwards.
