Listed companies me minority shareholders ab sirf dividend receive karne wale spectators nahi rahe. They can question board decisions, raise governance issues, oppose shady related party transactions, aur kabhi-kabhi management change tak push kar sakte hain.
Tools:
- AGM/EGM me questions, voting,
- Resolutions propose karna (where law allows),
- Proxy advisory firms ke through influence,
- Class actions ya oppression–mismanagement cases file karna.
Shareholder activism tab effective hota hai jab log informed hon, annual reports actually padhein, aur social media noise ko grounded facts se separate karein.
Companies ko bhi ab realise ho raha hai ki “small shareholders” ko ignore karna risky hai. Clear communication, fair remuneration policies, independent directors ka real independence – yeh sab activism ke pressure se improve ho sakte hain.
