SHAREHOLDER ACTIVISM IN INDIA

An activist shareholder is one utilizing a value stake as a part of an enterprise to put public pressure on its management. The objectives of activist shareholders range from financial (increment of shareholder quality through changes in corporate arrangement, financing structure, cost cutting, and so on.) to non-financial (disinvestment from specific nations, appropriation of ecologically inviting strategies, etc.).
