  Why this website?
  Consider the following: 
 

Over the years, thousands of unscrupulous entities have defrauded the investors or have broken the economic laws of the land. The practice continues.

 
 

Investors have lost confidence in the market consequent to a series of mishaps.

 
 

In many cases, though penal regulatory action has been taken against such entities, the information about such actions lies scattered and is in a difficult-to-access, difficult-to-use format.

 
 

Defaulters keep reappearing to harm the investors again, often with changed company names or by floating new companies/ schemes, encouraged as they are by inadequate deterrents.

 
 

Unregistered and indicted intermediaries abound, and investors suffer at their hands.

 
 

Regulatory action is reactive and rarely compensates the investors.

 
  Absence of any organized database prevents regulators and investors from taking any pre-emptive action.  
 

NRIs are a further disadvantaged lot, far as they are from the market and the regulators.

 
 

On the whole, investors feel cheated and helpless, and have become over-cautious. As a result, the capital market and the economy are suffering.

 
 

The best defense against frauds is self-defense.

 
 


watchoutinvestors.com is a national web-based registry covering entities including companies and intermediaries and, wherever available the persons associated with such entities, who have been indicted for an economic default and/or for non-compliance of laws/guidelines and/or who are no longer in the specified activity. This information which is presently disorganized, difficult-to-use and is spread across a large number of sources i.e. websites, databases, publications, notifications and orders of the government and of other organizations, agencies, courts of law, tribunals and commissions, has been aggregated, indexed, standardised ,reformatted and re-presented in a form and manner that can be accessed in a user friendly manner. 

 
 

 
watchoutinvestors.com enables investors to do a fast, efficient and user-friendly search and provides them with the information on such entities/persons which they can use:

 
 

before making any new investments with them

 
 

for continuously reviewing their existing portfolio vis-à-vis such entities (Mywatchout)

 
 

when dealing with them in any manner

 
 


The search results are provided in a simple tabular format. For each entry, the reason for the action and the action taken by the regulatory body is provided in a summary form.

 
 


For each entry, the source document is attached, wherever available or identified to enable verification and full details.

 
 


watchoutinvestors.com hopes to become an information resource also for the regulators, intermediaries, corporates and foreign investors.

watchoutinvestors.com also hopes that the media shall use this information resource to create or add value to their reporting.
