Advanced Investor Relations: Managing Institutional Shareholder Expectations
Once a company is listed, its share price is set at the margin by a few dozen institutions: FPIs, domestic mutual funds, insurers and pension money. This advanced course is for CFOs, finance leaders, late-stage founders and corporate development teams who have to manage what those institutions expect. It covers who owns India Inc and why, how to read and shape a shareholder register, how consensus forms and how to guide without breaching SEBI LODR, how stewardship codes and proxy advisors drive votes on related party transactions and special resolutions, how to handle activists and short sellers, and how to run and measure a serious institutional IR programme. Educational content only, built on real Indian cases.
