A Shareholder (or stockholder) is an individual, institution, or entity that owns one or more shares in a company, thereby holding a proportional ownership stake in that business. Shareholders are entitled to certain rights, including voting on corporate matters at AGMs, receiving dividends, and participating in the residual assets of the company upon liquidation. In India, shareholders of listed companies are protected by SEBI's regulations governing corporate governance, disclosure norms, and insider trading. Retail shareholders can exercise their rights digitally through the e-voting mechanism mandated for all listed companies, promoting greater investor participation.
