Krumour steps up as Sebi strengthens norms on market rumour verification
New Delhi, Jul 27 (PTI) Krumour, a platform developed by media insights firm Kanalytics, is emerging as a go-to solution for companies to comply with regulatory norms that make it mandatory for large listed companies to confirm, deny, or clarify market rumours.
Designed to monitor and analyse news across print, digital, television, and social media in multiple languages, Krumour helps companies identify potentially price-sensitive information and respond swiftly.
It combines human expertise with algorithm-based monitoring and links media activity with real-time market price movements (MPM).
The platform tracks media chatter across diverse channels and correlates it with MPM to detect potential material events. This allows compliance teams to act before regulators step in, reducing the risk of regulatory penalties and protecting market integrity.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), in May 2024, notified an amendment to the Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) rules, requiring large listed companies to confirm or deny any market rumour reported in the mainstream media within 24 hours of such reporting.
The framework aims to protect retail investors, who are often vulnerable to losses caused by share price volatility.
Following this, the top 100 listed entities began verifying market rumours from June 1, 2024, while an additional 150 listed entities (top 250) followed suit from December 2024 onwards.
Market analysts believe that consistently monitoring stock price movements to determine if a material price movement has occurred — and scanning all mediums, including global sources — requires specialised expertise and infrastructure.
Ashutosh, CEO of Kanalytics, said, 'A good solution needs trained talent, data, and technology. Offer credible, actionable end-to-end solution. You flood clients with data empowerment on time within minutes." 'Krumour is built for compliance and tuned for intelligence with news from pre-market to post-market hours through a hybrid of human curation and algorithmic filters. No wonder over 30 of the top 150 listed companies trust us today," he added. PTI SP TRB

Karnataka to complete AI workforce impact survey in a month
Karnataka IT Minister Priyank Kharge on Tuesday said the state is talking to companies to evaluate the impact of AI on workforce and the assessment is expected to be completed in about a month. The comment assumes significance in the backdrop of TCS' decision to slash 12,000 jobs this year. The unexpected move by India's largest IT services company has sent fresh tremors in the tech industry, that has been battling global macroeconomic woes and geopolitical uncertainty. On the Karnataka State IT/ITeS Employees' Union reportedly seeking action against TCS over the job cuts, Kharge said Karnataka does not recognise unions in IT sector. He, however, added that "if there are concerns raised by public and people, it is our responsibility to address it". "We are talking to companies to ask them what exactly we can do to ensure our HR or talent is most employable. We are getting a survey done with the companies on AI affect in workforce," Kharge told PTI on sidelines of SAP Labs India event. He added that the process is expected to be completed in about a month. It is pertinent to mention here that India's top IT services companies have delivered single-digit revenue growth in Q1 FY26, capping off a somewhat-sobering June quarter as macroeconomic instability and geopolitical tensions have weighed on global tech demand and delayed client decision making.

Trump's 50% tariffs on India! which sectors will impact? study says ‘estimated impact of…'
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a 50% tariff on Indian goods, which will take effect from August 7. This move raised major concerns about its potential impact on the Indian economy. However, there's some good news a new report suggests the impact will be minimal. According to a study by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), the tariff is expected to affect India's GDP by only 0.19%, which is almost negligible. Out of India's total exports worth $86.5 billion, only $8.1 billion around 1.87% will be affected by this move. Trump Tariffs: What PHDCCI Study Says? The paper, released by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), also recommends a series of measures to mitigate the impact of US tariffs. 'Our analysis indicates that there will be an estimated impact of only 1.87 per cent on India's total global merchandise exports and a negligible 0.19 per cent on India's GDP as a result of a 25 per cent tariff announced by the US on India,' said Hemant Jain, President, PHDCCI. The study said the total potential export impact is estimated at USD 8.1 billion based on 2024-25 merchandise exports of USD 86.5 billion (1.87 per cent of India's total global export). Which Sectors Will Impact By Trump Tariffs? Among other sectors, the study said the levies would impact engineering goods (USD 1.8 billion), gems and jewellery (USD 932 million), and ready-made garments (USD 500 million). In the wake of the US tariffs, the industry body has recommended several measures, including increasing market penetration, product development and market diversification. It suggested that stakeholders should negotiate bundled-pricing deals (textiles plus accessories) to absorb some tariff cost and maintain shelf-price competitiveness. 'Leverage Indian diaspora networks (trade fairs, cultural events) to boost volume with existing buyers under current product portfolios,' it said. PHDCCI also made a strong case for investments in joint ventures with US firms to produce tariff-sensitive goods on-shore, thereby converting exports into high-value services and intellectual property (IP) licensing.
