Promoter is the one who starts a company and work for it from the inception of the company.

Promoter can be an individual or group of people. Nobody knows the company better than promoters. Companies with strong promoters holding shows their confidence in company.

Whenever Promoters decrease their stake in company that is considered as negative for stock but there can be so many reasons why promoters are decreasing their stake such as they are in need of fund, they want to diversify some fund, there may be any compliance (SEBI says total promoters holding can not be more than 75% in a company as there should be 25% Minimum Public Shareholding).
