Ravindra Balu Bharti’s scam
Ravindra Balu Bharti utilized his internet popularity to entice followers into dangerous investments. He has two well-known YouTube channels with a combined subscriber count of 19 lakh. His business, Ravindra Bharti Education Institute, promised investors “high returns” and that they would profit greatly from the stock market. The problem is that the business was not even registered with Sebi, which is necessary in order to legally offer trade recommendations or investment advice.
In addition to offering haphazard counsel, Bharti and his group marketed the same individual several investment plans, which hindered their capacity to make independent choices. They failed to fully disclose all financial information to their clients or adequately warn them of the risks associated with these transactions. Due to their incomplete awareness of the hazards, many novice investors were left open to suffering significant losses.
The market regulator said, “The YouTuber influencer, his company and three associates are “restrained from accessing the securities market and are further prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities, directly or indirectly, or being associated with the securities market in any manner, whatsoever, till April 4, 2025”.
