The order came after Sebi initiated adjudication proceedings against Suriyanar Media Solutions Pvt Ltd.
Suriyanar Media Solutions was engaged in investment advisory services without obtaining Sebi registration as an investment adviser.
The company's directors -- L Krishnamurthy and Hema Krishnamoorthy -- who conduct the business were responsible for its activities.
The regulator noted that the entities have earned Rs 26 lakh from clients by rendering investment advice to investors during the 2013-2019 period.
