While insider trading law in India has undergone a rapid transformation in the last couple of decades, a systematic analysis of the legal regime has been rather elusive. This book performs, and that too admirably, the task of filling that important gap. It represents a comprehensive account of insider trading law in India, but set elegantly in the context of global developments. It combines jurisprudential analyses with a study of practical implications. It is a sine qua non for anyone engaged in the field of securities regulation, whether a student, academic or practitioner.

This book is a pioneering work that will be useful to academics and practitioners globally as a handbook for Indian insider trading law especially how it is similar to, and more importantly, how it differs from global practice.
