Mindspace Reit raises Rs 550 cr via sustainability-linked bonds from IFC
K Raheja Corp-backed Mindspace Business Parks real estate investment trust (Reit) has raised Rs 550 crore through sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector investment arm of the World Bank Group. This follows the Reit's initial Rs 650-crore SLB issuance in June 2024, bringing the total SLB issuance to Rs 1,200 crore. The Rs 650-crore bond was also subscribed by IFC. This is the first SLB issuance by an Indian Reit under the new environment, social and governance (ESG) framework introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in June 2025, the Reit said. The allotted SLBs have a tenure of eight years and are rated 'AAA (Stable)' by Icra, a ratings agency. In May 2025, Mindspace Reit had approved raising Rs 1,800 crore through a fresh issuance of non-convertible debt securities or commercial papers in one or more tranches. Ramesh Nair, managing director and chief executive officer, Mindspace Reit, said: 'With this issuance, we're taking a big step forward on our sustainability journey. Being the first Reit to raise sustainability-linked bonds under Sebi's new ESG framework shows our intent to lead from the front. Partnering with IFC gives us global backing, and it will help us drive energy efficiency, add more green-certified space, and build a portfolio that's ready for the future.' The SLB is directly tied to measurable ESG performance targets, ensuring accountability and impact. These include a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, an increase in the share of green-certified areas under management, and a reduction in energy intensity. Imad Fakhoury, regional director for South Asia, IFC, said: 'IFC is pleased to deepen its partnership with Mindspace Reit through an additional investment, fuelling the growth of Reits as an asset class and strengthening India's real estate sector. By championing sustainable buildings and innovative financing, we are creating opportunities for developers, investors and communities. This investment will accelerate the development of world-class office infrastructure that generates jobs, attracts global capability centres and top employers, and strengthens India's business environment.'

New audit rules for digi-first companies soon: ICAI president
PTI ICAI president Charanjot Singh Nanda The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) will soon firm up new Information Systems Audit Standards for improving the audit quality of entities such as startups, fintech firms, and e-commerce companies that have technology at the core of their operations, said its president Charanjot Singh Nanda. These standards will enable chartered accountants (CAs) in assessing IT-related risks, including cyber security threats, data breaches, and system failures while auditing these firms and recommend mitigation measures, Nanda told ET. To be sure, these standards will also apply to financial audits of companies in other sectors, given the fast-growing adoption of technology in every facet of modern businesses."With businesses relying heavily on digital platforms, ERPs and cloud systems, traditional financial auditing is no longer sufficient," said another person privy to the the new standards will also provide "a structured approach for evaluating the integrity, confidentiality and availability of IT systems", the person said. Various laws and regulations such as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act in India or GDPR globally mandate IT audits and data protection compliance. So, ICAI plans to equip CAs through these standards to also guide organisations in meeting their various tech-related compliance obligations, said the norms will focus on effective financial reporting, fraud detection and prevention, and robust governance frameworks, among will eventually enable CAs to offer value-added services and expand their professional expertise on system audits, IT governance assessments, cyber security reviews and ERP implementation startup ecosystem has exploded in recent years. The fintech sector is also growing number of startups recognised by the industry ministry shot up to 1,57,706 by the end of 2024 from 502 in 2016.

Post real money gaming bill, questions aplenty for Indian cricket
IPL may feel aftershocks One of the knock-on effects of a blanket ban could be felt by Indian cricket, especially the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL). Various IPL teams as well as the competition itself are tied up with various real money gaming firms, including Dream XI and My11Circle. Even if Indian cricket will not have a lot of problems onboarding new sponsors — if they want to go down that path — there may be some short term pain. "Fantasy gaming platforms like My11Circle and Dream11 have become heavyweight backers of Indian sports," said Santosh N, managing partner of D & P Advisory, an independent valuation company. "My11Circle has committed Rs 625 cr for an IPL associate sponsorship slot, while Dream11 has consistently backed franchises such as Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans, and Sunrisers Hyderabad as title or principal sponsors. My11Circle is currently an IPL associate sponsor at the league level, contributing a large share of central sponsorship revenue. Separately, Dream11 has team-level sponsorships, serving as Title Partner and Principal Partners for some teams. Together, fantasy sports brands account for hundreds of crores in sponsorship inflows, making IPL one of the most exposed properties to a potential ban." Dream11, as it stands, is the Indian team's 'lead sponsor' but that is scheduled to end after next year's men's T20 World Cup. "Banning it would strip IPL and many smaller leagues of vital funding, compress marketing budgets, and likely curb the steady upward trend in sponsorship revenues." Santosh added. My11Circle also counts a number of active Indian cricketers as their brand ambassadors. Per the bill, they can't endorse any of these products. Set for a challenge? If and when it becomes law, the gaming companies may decide to challenge its constitutionality. Sports lawyers this newspaper spoke to said that fantasy games like Dream11 are 'games of skill' according to a Supreme Court judgment a few years earlier. A Dream11 spokesperson 'declined to comment' for multiple questions raised by this mast. The bill caught a lot of industry stakeholders off guard, especially because this government's previous moves with respect to the online gaming industry was seen as favouring them. It's been reported that the government are now citing national security as well as social issues for this step.
