Under his leadership, SEBI introduced significant developmental changes in the areas of FPIs, AIFs, REITs, InvITs and Corporate Governance.
With experience and leadership of Sinha, NAM India will receive a further boost to the already existing culture of strong corporate governance and high standards of compliance and risk management and it would also help in the overall growth of the business, said the fund house.
