Best of BS Opinion: Startups get a boost, higher education needs a leg-up

Hello and welcome to BS Views, our newsletter that sums up today's opinion page. From Sebi's bold moves to the crisis in higher education, and from sustainability issues with rice farming to Iran's nuclear ambitions, today's pieces touch upon key issues that policymakers must grapple with. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) board last week approved a co-investment vehicle (CIV) framework under the Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) regulations, amended rules governing Real Estate Investment Trusts (Reits) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs), and eased the delisting process for certain types of public-sector undertakings (PSUs). It also clarified norms on the issuance of employee stock ownership plans (Esops) in start-ups that plan to go public — a move that has brought relief to founders. These reforms, our first editorial argues, will make Indian markets more attractive for listings, improve the business environment for AIFs, and facilitate delisting for eligible PSUs. The latest QS World University Rankings show that India's higher education sector has recorded its best-ever performance on the global stage. Notably, seven of the eight new entrants from India are private universities — a sign of shifting dynamics in the country's higher education architecture. However, our second editorial cautions that quality remains a concern, and centres of higher education continue to face challenges such as faculty shortages, inadequate infrastructure, and underfunding. It calls for fast-tracking the regulatory frameworks recommended under the National Education Policy (NEP), strengthening public institutions, and addressing gaps in industry-academia linkages. Ajay Shah highlights a core principle of political science and international relations — the distinction between the principal and the agent, or the interests of the people versus those of the regime. In this context, he criticises the devastation caused by the Khamenei regime's pursuit of pride and nationalism in Iran. With no existential threats, Shah argues, Iran does not need nuclear weapons. Instead, the country must end state violence, focus on institution-building, and create conditions for peace and prosperity. Surinder Sud welcomes India's rise as the world's largest producer and leading exporter of rice since 2012. While newer rice strains have contributed to this growth, he warns that rice farming severely strains water resources and harms environmental sustainability. He recommends practices such as direct seeding and alternate wetting and drying of paddy fields, which can reduce water use by 30–60 per cent, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and cut fertiliser, pesticide, and labour requirements — all without sacrificing yields. Scaling up such technologies is critical for sustaining long-term rice production. Charles Finch reviews Leigh Claire La Berge's Fake Work: How I Began to Suspect Capitalism Is a Joke, calling it an early autopsy of a post-capitalist world. He observes that younger generations increasingly view capitalism as unsustainable. The book is a sustained meditation on the experience of corporate life — both its weakness and strength. Finch finds it earnest, repetitive, and at times wooden, but notes it is resolutely committed to its thesis. It offers a vision of a different life beyond the workplace — though the implication, he adds, is that only an apocalypse might make that fresh start possible.

Credit rating firms seek govt intervention over regulatory void on ₹1 L cr unlisted debt

Mumbai: Credit rating companies have sought the intervention of ministries of corporate affairs and finance amid an uncertainty over the future ratings of more ₹1 lakh crore of unlisted securities . The rating of these instruments, like corporate bonds and securitised papers, which comprise an integral part of the financial market for debts, has fallen between the cracks of two regulatory authorities. The ambiguity stems from the fact that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), the primary regulator for the credit rating agencies (CRAs), has jurisdiction over only listed securities while unlisted debts raised by corporates, including company fixed deposits, are outside the domain of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). SEBI had last year told rating firms to get a non-objection certificate from RBI for rating the unlisted papers. Since then, the central bank has allowed CRAs to rate certificates of deposits (CDs) - instruments floated by banks to raise short-term funds. But, there is no clarity on ratings of securitised papers like pass through certificates (PTCs) and unlisted corporate bonds . This is where CRAs want the ministries to step in. Issued against a basket of loans and the interest flows from them, PTCs enable lenders like non-bank finance companies as well as banks to convert relatively illiquid loans into marketable papers and create headroom to lend more while letting investors - like corporate treasuries, financial institutions, and fund houses - hold a diversified pool of assets and sometimes generate a higher return. A predominant portion of the outstanding PTCs are unlisted. Under the circumstances, the CRAs are awaiting a signal from the corporate affairs ministry that they can follow the SEBI guidelines on listed securities while carrying out the rating of unlisted securities. Thus, CRAs want to know whether they can continue to use the same rules of default recognition, application of grading scale, disclosures, and issue of press release for unlisted papers as well. The ministry is yet to respond to the letter from the rating industry body. With New Delhi is yet to give the go-ahead, some of the CRAs, in the course of various meetings, have sensitised issuers of unlisted securities as well as some of the investors that ratings of these instruments may have to be withdrawn in the absence of any clarity from the government or regulators. "More so, with SEBI reminding CRAs a few months ago that the issue needs to be sorted out. This could well be a nudge from SEBI to list more securities and thereby promote transparency. However, many issuers refrain from listing either to avoid the compliance and reporting that come with it or strike bilateral deals with investors and do not feel the urgency to list," said an industry official. Many institutional investors may keep away from unrated securities, including banks who save on capital as unrated loans and investments carry higher risk weights. But while there are takers for unrated instruments, rating helps in investment decision making by capturing the risk and pricing of an instrument. "Some are expecting RBI to clear the air for PTCs which are mostly issued by NBFCs (entities regulated by RBI). If RBI gives a green signal for PTCs, then the issue related to rating of unlisted corporate bonds has to be resolved. Company FDs are a small market," said another official. Earnings from ratings of unlisted papers, said an analyst, is a small slice of CRAs' earnings, but a lack of rating can have some implications for the wholesale debt market. For instance, CRAs' periodic reports on the PTC market are closely tracked by investors. "There are adequate regulations on investments in these unlisted securities but there is not enough regulation about their rating. SEBI understandably wants rating of any instrument to be cleared by some authority. It doesn't want to be blamed for a big loss or default which inevitably raises questions on ratings," said the person. "The market too is evolving. The assets of Alternative investment funds have surged in the last 5 to 6 years and many of these funds put money in unlisted papers," she said. Earlier, CRAs could choose on what it would rate, but those days are long over with the role and rules agencies coming under scrutiny since the IL&FS default in 2018.
