  "summary": "SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey emphasized the regulator's focus on making the Indian capital markets more accessible, efficient, and resilient, with a strong emphasis on investor protection. Over the past decade, market capitalization has grown significantly, with companies raising more than ₹10 lakh crore annually through equity and debt issuances. While the regulator works to strengthen markets during normal times, it also prioritizes resilience during periods of stress. Pandey highlighted the expansion of investor participation in West Bengal, with the number of investors increasing from 12 lakh in 2015 to over 90 lakh today, and over 40 MSMEs from the state accessing capital markets to raise over ₹1,400 crore through SME IPOs.",
