In a notification issued on Thursday, the Securities and Exchange Board of India said Kore Digital inflated revenue through non-genuine subsidiaries and manipulated financial statements.

• However, site visits found no evidence that the three subsidiaries and their step-down subsidiaries operated from their stated addresses, raising questions about whether they actually existed, the regulator said.
• Incorporated in 2009, Kore Digital listed on NSE’s SME platform on June 14, 2023 and was eligible to migrate to the main stock exchange board on June 14, 2026.
• SEBI has barred Managing Director Ravindra Doshi, CEO Chaitanya Doshi and CFO Kashmira Doshi from trading in the company’s shares and ordered a forensic audit of Kore’s books.
