Shopicoin Invites Applications for a Prospective ICO, launches a Lucrative ETH based Crypto for Investors.

Making money is something that everyone lives for, but what about virtual money, are they capable of fulfilling dreams as well? The Cyptocurrency is a development that has swept across the new generation with a reliable digital payment option. Taking the technology forward is the ICO or Initial Coin Offering. A number of names have emerged in the past few years in the ICO bandwagon and Shopicoin is one of the latest additions. The company boasts of a strong base and has gained a new momentum joining hands with Shopizio E-Commerce Limited.

 In an event held for the pre-launch of the Shopicoin ICO, Mr. Chittaranjan Roy, the CEO was heard saying, “We want to carve a niche in the digital world through our customer-oriented projects that also reflect our modern outlook. He further said “Extending our futuristic business concept is Shopicoin that merges the traditional benefits of crowdsourcing with the modernity of the Blockchain.”

 On asking what makes Shopicoin different from other ICO programmes, Mr. Roy clarified that Shopicoin refrains from any sort of false claims and promises to the investors. It is getting launched with a lot of transparency and adopts a long-lasting approach keeping the interest of the investors in mind. He also revealed that as the ICO proceeds, there will be many more pleasant surprises for those, who want their funds managed and multiplied, in a dynamic way.

 It is notable that the Shopicoin ICO offers a number of extra income features under following programmes –

•              • Binary Level Income,

•              • Referral Income and

•              • Directors’ Club Bonus

 Investors are also entitled to rewards on holding of the tokens till the completion of the ICO. If that is not all, they can trade their Shopicoins on recognised Crypto exchanges, once ICO gets over.

 With so much noise about Blockchain and Cryptocurrency going around, trying your hand in the crypto world is not a bad idea at all. And with companies like Shopicoin, investors are in safe hands, going by the words of the CEO. In the age of Internet, where physical transactions are losing their importance, Shopicoin not only offers ease of payment, but also a promising future to the investors.

 About the Company

Shopicoin Cryptocurrency Limited (Registration code: 14807386) was incorporated on 18th September, 2019 in Rosenitn13, J 0111, Tallinn linn, Harju Maakond, Republic of Estonia, with a share capital of EUR 2500.

 Shopicoin is a cryptocurrency based on the concept of propagating convenience in financial transactions and it is this concept that makes it a superior payment solution. It is an answer to the search for a dependable digital currency backed by modern, real world applications. Shopicoin promises to start off a new wave of decentralized and trusted payment in world E Commerce ecosystem, which would work along with the current platforms. Our competitors in the market would include all the E-Commerce platforms that fail to provide viable benefits before consumers. Consumers would have the power to both gain and retrieve Shopicoin tokens on our e-commerce marketplace, Shopikuchbhi. One of the basic benefits of being on Ethereum Block chain would be to merge the advantages of Payments & Rewards in certain products where customers would be excited to get hooked in via utilization of Blockchain technology.

SEBI INVESTIGATION EXPOSES “AGENT” ALAWANI FOR HELPING ATUL KIRLOSKAR IN 275 CR FRAUD AT KIRLOSKAR INDUSTRIES LIMITED

SEBI has slapped a penalty of Rs.15 lakhs to Kirloskar Industries (KIL) Director, AN Alawani for indulging in fraudulent and unfair trade practices and alleged that he helped the promoters who owned 15% of the company to walk away with Rs. 275 crores. The regular has also barred him from the capital markets for period of six months.

Even though  Mr. Alawani did not trade in shares in his own personal trading account, SEBI in their note said he  was an insider as he was in possession of the UPSI. He was trading as an authorised “agent” for and behalf of the Kirloskar Industries (KIL). The note added that he aided KIL promoters in selling their shares of Kirloskar Brothers Ltd (KBL) to Kirloskar Industries (KIL) thus together have allegedly committed fraud on KIL and public/ minority shareholders of the company.

In KBL’s board meeting held on 27th July 2010, the management disclosed the poor profitability of KBL. This was clearly confidential information, and also UPSI under SEBI regulations. KBL directors Gautam Kulkarni, Rahul Kirloskar and AN Alawani who attended the said board meeting, were privy to this UPSI. The very next day, on July 28, at the Kirloskar Industries board meeting, its Chairman Atul Kirloskar, Rahul Kirloskar's brother, added a new item, not on the agenda, shockingly suggesting that Kirloskar Industries invest its surplus funds by buying KBL shares on the false representation that KBL would do well.

After suggesting that Kirloskar Industries buys KBL shares, Atul Kirloskar and Nihal (Gautam Kulkarni’s son) being directly interested as sellers, “excused” themselves from discussions on this subject. It was left to two Group executives AN Alawani – the then Audit Committee Chairman, AR Sathe who chaired the board meeting in the absence of Atul Kirloskar, and another director, to vote to buy the KBL shares.

SEBI said, that Mr.Alawani who was on the audit committee chairman of Kirloskar Industries was also on the board of KBL and being a non-executive director, makes him a ’connected person’ with KBL, and thus it is reasonably expected that he had access to unpublished price sensitive information  of KBL. He had participated in Kirloskar Industries board meeting and thus had a direct role and access to UPSI leading to the inducement of KIL to buy shares of KBL.

Despite hearing about the poor profitability of KBL the previous day, Mr. Alawani did not tell the other directors that it would be wrong to invest Kirloskar Industries’ funds in KBL shares, but participated and voted to buy the shares of a company he knew was going to have very poor profitability for the long term. He helped the promoters who owned 15% of the company to walk away with Rs. 275 crores.

SEBI has also asked Gautam Kulkarni, Rahul Kirloskar, Atul Kirloskar, Alpana Kirloskar, Jyotsna Kulkarni and Arti Kirloskar to pay up Rs. 31.21 crore in 45 days and have been barred from the capital markets for six months, for indulging in insider trading and committing fraud on public shareholders.
