Disruptive Finance: Algos, P2P, and Climate Risk in India The global financial landscape is fracturing under the weight of exponential technological acceleration, regulatory shifts, and climate transition mandates. Disruptive Finance: Algos, P2P, and Climate Risk in India delivers a high-octane empirical masterclass on how these powerful forces are actively rewriting the rules of risk and market efficiency in one of the world's most dynamic financial systems.Bridging high-frequency market microstructure and retail fintech, this groundbreaking book uncovers the hidden friction points of modern finance. Discover how the microsecond-level speed of algorithmic trading both stabilizes continuous equity volatility and triggers sudden liquidity withdrawals through order cancellation cascades across global venues and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). Peer into the primary market mechanics of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) to see how high-speed arbitrageurs drive price discovery before underlying stock baskets can adjust.Beyond secondary trading, the narrative pivots to credit democratization and sustainability. Learn how the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) macroprudential capital tightening on traditional banking unleashes massive credit migration to digital Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending platforms, demonstrating crucial policy spillovers. Finally, explore how options markets quantify corporate sustainability credibility under SEBI's Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework—punishing unverified "greenwashing" and rewarding credible, third-party assured targets with compressed downside tail-risk premiums.Armed with advanced econometrics and driven by real-world regulatory shocks, this book is the definitive, forward-looking playbook for quantitative fund managers, regulators, and financial economists eager to master the structural future of emerging financial architecture.
