NANDA

Dr Nanda is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the EW Barker Centre for Law & Business. She holds an LL.B from the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, an LLM from the University of Cambridge and a PhD from the National University of Singapore. She has to date received six scholarships for her academic performance, including the George Spyrou Scholarship, the Commonwealth Scholarship and Erasmus University Rotterdam’s Junior Research Fellowship. In 2022, she received a nomination for the best doctoral thesis award across humanities and social sciences at NUS. In recent years, she has also gained editing experience in leading academic journals as an associate editor at the Indian Law Review (a Scopus Indexed Journal with Taylor & Francis) and as the editorial secretary at the International and Comparative Corporate Law Journal.

Dr Nanda’s research interests generally lie in examining market abuse concerns in comparative securities markets. Her doctoral dissertation titled “How Corporations Speak to Markets” was an in-depth comparative analysis of how insider trading regulations appear as roadblocks to companies’ practice of speaking selectively to investors when structuring and negotiating capital market transactions. Her thesis laid out how these regulations should then be amended to facilitate the closing of these transactions while retaining trust in markets. At EWBCLB, her research examines the steady rise of material corporate disclosures on social media by controlling founder CEOs, especially from the tech industry, and how these disclosures are now causing immense market abuse concerns for boards, shareholders and securities regulators.
