Regulating the Retail Options Boom

Evidence from India's 2024–25 equity index derivatives reforms

Anklesh Rawat · Shreshtha Rawat

A difference-in-differences evaluation of SEBI's 2024–25 index derivatives curbs, using untargeted stock options as a within-market control across a 48-month NSE and BSE panel. Index-options notional turnover fell 37–43% below its counterfactual path, premium turnover fell far less, and the smallest retail traders exited hardest.

Background

About

I'm a finance and strategy generalist (MBA, IIM Bodh Gaya) working across investment research, management-consulting-style problem-solving, and financial analysis. My work spans credit, equities, macro, private equity, and sustainable finance.

The difference is that it doesn't stop at a memo or a deck. Each analysis becomes something you can open: a covenant monitor reading SEC filings, a research terminal with reverse-DCF pricing, a causal-tested ENSO commodity desk, a capital-markets intelligence platform. Alongside that sits strategy work like the green-steel transition roadmap and MSME credit case in the research section.

The same instinct runs through the written work: a working paper on SSRN estimating what SEBI's 2024–25 index derivatives curbs actually did to retail participation, and a bancassurance product case study taking IndusInd Protect from user research to prioritization, flows, and go-to-market.
