The regulator has imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh each on R N Shankar Prasad, Vinay Kumar Sutrave, Ravikumar Kavitha and Gangadharan Sivasankar, according to four separate orders.

The regulator found non-compliance by the individuals with the regulations during January-March 2019 period.
During their employment with Mindtree, they had transacted in the securities of the company but failed to make disclosures to the firm as required under the (Prohibition of Insider Trading) rules, as per Securities Exchange board of India (Sebi).
The disclosure requirements were triggered on account of the transactions concerned exceeding the market value of Rs 10 lakh.
