The Bengaluru-based contract manufacturer lands in legal hot water with the California-headquartered transformer startup over a trade secret dispute.
The Rs 250 SIP was launched last year by the former SEBI chairperson with one clear goal: financial inclusion. More than a year later, the much-hyped scheme doesn’t seem to have caught on with MF investors.
