As it pushes listed companies to appoint women directors, a female member already sits on the board of the capital markets regulator Sebi.
While there is no regulatory requirement for Sebi in this regard, its board recently got a woman member when Anjuly Chib Duggal replaced Naved Masood as a nominee of the Corporate Affairs Ministry.
Besides Chairman and three Whole Time Members, the eight-member board of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) also has nominees of Finance Ministry and RBI and a part-time independent member.
Duggal is probably the first woman to be in the Sebi board in many years. She took over as Corporate Affairs Secretary this month and also attended Sebi's board meeting for the first time on March 22.
