Abhishek Paliwal on Zerodha’s Zero1 Shutdown: A Signal of Rising Regulatory Scrutiny in Fintech

In a recent article published by Business Today titled “Zero1 shutdown: What Zerodha’s move signals for fintech platforms and regulatory scrutiny,” Abhishek Paliwal shared key insights into the evolving regulatory landscape governing India’s fintech ecosystem.

Commenting on Zerodha’s decision to shut down its Zero1 creator network, Abhishek observed that the move appears to be a strategic response to heightened scrutiny by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on finfluencers and unregistered investment advisory activities.
He noted that with regulators increasingly focusing on investor protection and market integrity, including the proposed use of artificial intelligence to identify and filter unregistered advisors, fintech platforms are being compelled to reassess their engagement models. According to him, such steps reflect a broader shift toward stricter compliance expectations and proactive risk mitigation within the industry.
