Ketan Parekh was a stock broker from Mumbai who manipulated the Indian stock market in late 1999-2001, in what became known as the Ketan Parekh scam. He formed a network of brokers to target and artificially inflate the prices of 10 stocks by as much as 10 times their original values. Parekh used a simple borrowing mechanism known as the badla system to fund his stock purchases, pledging the inflated stock prices as collateral to obtain more funds. However, when the stock market crashed in 2000, Parekh was unable to maintain the prices and his scheme collapsed, leading to his arrest in 2001 and conviction in 2008 for market manipulation. The scam had major implications, including a 700 point fall in the

- etan's rise to fame occurred at the same time as the worldwide dot-com boom (1999-2000) and he relied primarily on the shares of ten companies for his dealings (now known infamously as the K-10 scrips).Ketan had large borrowings from Global Trust Bank, whose shares he was ramping up (so that he could get a good deal at the time of its merger with UTI Bank) – he got Rs 250 crore loan from Global Trust Bank, though Global Trust’s chairman RameshGelli (who was later asked to quit) repeatedly said that lending to Ketan was less than Rs 100 crore in keeping with Reserve Bank of India norms. Ketan and his associates got another Rs 1,000 crore from the Madhavpura Mercantile Co-operative Bank despite the fact that RBI regulations ruled that the maximum a broker could have got as a loan was Rs 15 crore.

- Due to various factors including the bursting of “New Economy” bubble and the subsequent downward trend in NASDAQ, Ketan Parekh and his cronies started borrowing heavily. The only option before Ketan Parekh and other members of the bull cartel was to recklessly rig the prices of shares upwards and then sell them. Initially, he and his cronies borrowed heavily from the banks but later switched to unofficial markets in Calcutta. Over 90 per cent of transactions in Calcutta are estimated to be unofficial, outside the exchange with no records and margin money. The financiers at Calcutta were too happy to lend huge amount of money to Parekh and his cartel at rates as high as 100 per cent.Because of liquidity crunch, Parekh and his cronies were finding it extremely difficult to further push the prices of stocks upwards. Taking advantage of this situation, the international bear cartel got together and started massive selling of “KP Stocks” in the hope of buying them dirt cheap at a later stage. The short selling was carried out with the active connivance of AnandRathi and other broker-directors of the BSE who provided sensitive information to the bear cartel about market exposure of Parekh and his cronies. The sudden selling of shares created a panic-like situation in the markets. Sensing a major meltdown, the big market players not associated with the bear cartel also started heavy selling of “KP Stocks.” Even the Madhavpura Cooperative Bank started offloading the shares it held as collateral from Parekh, fearing his inability to pay back the borrowed funds. All these factors further contributed towards the steep decline of the prices of “KP Stocks.”
