The strongest firewall isn't just technology, it's an informed investor. At CDSL IPF, we've built robust systems to protect your data and investments. But we also know that even the most advanced security can be compromised, not through hacking systems, but by manipulating trust. Our Chief Information Security Officer, Mr. Akhil Wadhavkar, shares a fundamental truth: Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility that begins with awareness and vigilance. Through our ‘Sawaal Karo. Scams Ko Slam Karo.’ campaign this World Investor Week, we're reinforcing that staying safe doesn't mean staying silent, it means staying smart. When investors pause to verify, question suspicious communications, and refuse to share sensitive credentials, they become the first line of defence against fraud. Because no legitimate institution will ever ask for your OTP, password, or personal details. And when you question, the fraudster's act collapses. Let's become digitally responsible, aware, and truly Atmanirbhar Investors. #CDSLIndia #CDSLIPF #WorldInvestorWeekIndia #IOSCOWIW2025 #BanoAtmanirbharInvestor #InvestorAwareness

In a world where investing has gone digital, staying protected requires more than just passwords, it requires awareness. As fraudsters evolve their tactics with fake websites, phishing schemes, and sophisticated impersonations, CDSL IPF remains committed to empowering investors with the knowledge to become Atmanirbhar Investors. Our Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Amit Mahajan reminds us that the most powerful defence against digital fraud isn't complex, it's simply the habit of asking questions before acting. Through our 'Sawaal Karo. Scams Ko Slam Karo.' campaign this World Investor Week, we're encouraging every investor to pause, verify, and question. Because when you ask, scams fall apart. Together, let's build an ecosystem of aware, confident investors. #CDSLIndia #CDSLIPF #WorldInvestorWeekIndia #IOSCOWIW2025 #BanoAtmanirbharInvestor #InvestorAwareness

Our MD and CEO, Mr. Nehal Vora, was a speaker at the BBF Capital Markets Confluence 2025, where he shared his views on “Global Connectivity of Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs)”. In his address, Mr. Vora reflected on India’s unique position in the global financial ecosystem — a market that operates at extraordinary scale, speed, and sophistication, while staying deeply rooted in trust and inclusivity. Drawing a thoughtful analogy, he compared India’s financial markets to the Indian Thali — where diverse flavours, textures, and elements come together harmoniously on one plate. Just as the thali represents abundance and balance, India’s market infrastructure reflects diversity, innovation, and seamless coexistence — qualities that make it not just globally comparable, but globally relevant. Joined by esteemed leaders from across the MIIs, the discussion highlighted how India’s robust systems, regulatory clarity, and investor-centric initiatives are shaping a future of deeper global connectivity. 🇮🇳 As Mr. Vora aptly noted, “The question isn’t whether India is ready for global connectivity — it is. The real question is whether the world is ready for the Indian Thali.” Mr. Sundararaman R of Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE), Ms. Vaisshali Babu of Indian Clearing Corporation Limited, Ms. Latika S Kundu of Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India Ltd., and Ms. Praveena Rai of Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd. #BBFCapitalMarketsConfluence #Leadership #FinancialMarkets #GlobalConnectivity #IndiaStory #CDSL

Opportunity and responsibility go hand in hand, especially in the digital investment landscape. While technology has made investing more accessible than ever, it has also opened new avenues for fraud. At CDSL IPF, we've observed a critical pattern: scams succeed not just because investors lack information, but because they hesitate to ask questions. Our Chief Regulatory Officer, Nayana Ovalekar, emphasizes that true investor protection begins with creating a culture of inquiry and verification. Through our ‘Sawaal Karo. Scams Ko Slam Karo.’ campaign this World Investor Week, we're committed to building a community of Atmanirbhar Investors. Because the moment you question, verify, and pause before acting, fraudsters lose their greatest weapon: your silence. Let's invest responsibly, stay vigilant, and always ask the right questions. #CDSLIndia #CDSLIPF #WorldInvestorWeekIndia #IOSCOWIW2025 #BanoAtmanirbharInvestor #InvestorAwareness
