SEBI Launches 'Sarthi' App for Smarter Investing as Karnataka's Panic LPG Demand Normalizes

In a strategic move to empower retail investors and ensure complete market transparency, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has officially launched 'Sarthi', a trusted, comprehensive digital guide for smarter investing. The interactive platform is designed to educate new investors on market dynamics, mutual funds, and dispute resolution mechanisms, bringing critical financial literacy to the fingertips of millions. Concurrently, in regional economic news, the severe panic buying of LPG cylinders in Karnataka has finally eased today. Daily demand, which had spiked alarmingly to 3.75 lakh cylinders earlier in the week, has now dropped back to a more manageable 3.06 lakh per day. Authorities have assured residents that supply chains are highly robust and there is absolutely no need for hoarding. Furthermore, the corporate sector is buzzing as Infosys announced a massive ₹52 crore stock award for its CEO, Salil Parekh, reflecting the company's aggressive talent retention strategy amidst intense global IT market competition. These diverse developments highlight a day of regulatory advancements and stabilizing domestic supply metrics across the Indian business landscape.
