Fund manager arrested for ‘front-running' seeks bail, claims company thrived in his tenure
The former chief trader and fund manager of Axis Mutual Fund arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) over allegations of cheating through front-running, has claimed in his bail plea that the mutual fund 'only thrived' during his tenure and that he regularly received 'outstanding' ratings in annual appraisals. Viresh Joshi was arrested on August 2 by the ED ,for allegedly misusing confidential information on trades to be executed on behalf of Axis Mutual Fund to preemptively trade stocks, generating substantial illicit gains, through front-running — an illegal trading practice where a fund manager or broker exploits a non-public impending large investment decision to take a position and benefit from price rise after the large investment. The ED has claimed that it suspects the proceeds of crime to be Rs 300 crore in the case, with Rs 91 crore so far traced to bank accounts of family members of Joshi from various shell companies. 'The applicant's (Joshi) professional conduct throughout his 14-year-tenure at Axis Asset Management Company, (AMC) has been beyond reproach. He consistently met or exceeded performance targets, earning timely promotions from assistant vice president to senior vice president and regularly receiving 'outstanding' ratings in annual appraisals. His integrity and diligence were recognised through multiple internal awards….and invitations to speak at prominent industry forums,' the bail plea filed through lawyer Manan Sanghai said. 'The conduct of the applicant during his tenure more than sufficiently adduces that Axis Mutual Funds only thrived while the applicant was employed with them as is evidenced by the publicly available documents issued by AMF in respect of its own mutual funds scheme,' it said. Joshi further said that all trades were routed only through empanelled brokers and he had no discretion over trade selection, timing or price and operated strictly within a tightly regulated framework. 'The applicant's role was operational in nature and served solely to assist between the fund manager's decision and the said decision's market execution,' the bail plea said. In February 2022, the board of directors of the Axis AMC decided to conduct an internal investigation and all employees were asked to hand over their personal and work email ID with passwords, office computer data, office mobile recorded phones, work from home laptops, personal phones, to an external independent investigator. Joshi was placed under temporary suspension on May 3, 2022, and was terminated on May 18, 2022. Market regulatory authority, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had initiated a probe and summoned Joshi. He submitted that he had complied with the summons and his statement was recorded. Sebi passed an interim order in 2023 stating that Joshi was involved in 'front-running', and directions were issued including repayment of alleged illegal gains of Rs 30.56 crore. The bail plea says that the allegations are based on snippets of chat and incomplete trade logs and other data, and is pending finality. Joshi in his plea has said that he has cooperated with the probe, spanning multiple parallel agencies, including the Sebi, EOW, Income Tax department and ED and that he is not a flight risk. The ED has been asked to file a reply.

Qualcomm localising module production in India, supporting partners' manufacturing plans
US-based chip major Qualcomm is localising automotive module production in India and is supporting its top-tier ecosystem partners in their plan to move manufacturing into the country, a senior company official has said. Qualcomm Technologies, group general manager for automotive, industrial and embedded IoT, Nakul Duggal, told PTI that the company is investing heavily in India to support local automotive companies. "We build a lot of modules. Those modules are typically built in Taiwan, or China, or Korea, but we are now actively working in India to localise this. We, of course, partner with our Tier 1 ecosystem, such that as they move their manufacturing to India, we have been supporting them," he said. Duggal said that Qualcomm is a fabless company, which means it designs the chips but doesn't manufacture them. "For us, it's really about being able to create opportunities in our supply chain to be able to direct that (manufacture)," he said. Qualcomm has approximately 22,000 employees, or 60 per cent of its workforce, in India. Duggal said that the company has a local team to support domestic car manufacturers. Qualcomm has been bullish on chipsets for automobiles , especially electric vehicles . The company has partnered with all the major car OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), including Tata Motors, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, to provide them with chipsets for modernising cars. It has the Snapdragon Elite chipset platform for telematics, infotainment and driver assistance, including ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). Duggal said that in 2026, there will probably be a dozen vehicles that will deploy its Snapdragon Cockpit Elite and Snapdragon Ride Elite SoC (System on Chip), which were announced in October 2024 and delivered to customers in early 2025. He said that India has a substantial domestic footprint encompassing both domestic and global automakers that manufacture locally. "There is a huge need for building products that cater to the needs of the Indian region. Rather than bringing in a product that is built for a global customer, build a product for a local customer. That necessitates for an OEM the need to have engineering capability, creative capability, to actually think about the needs of the local region, and we are starting to see that happen," he said. Duggal said building an automotive product for the local market will generate a competitive advantage, and China has benefited from this trend. The automotive segment of the company accounts for around 10 per cent of its global revenue, which is around USD 3.6 billion to USD 3.8 billion. The company has set a target to double the total revenue from the automotive business to about USD 8 billion by 2029.
