๐๐โ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ that deeply resonated with me:
โก๏ธFrom honorary critic to steward of accountability โ Independent directors must move beyond symbolic roles to become active guardians of corporate integrity and stakeholder trust
โก๏ธ Dissent is strength, not discord โ Constructive challenge and respectful debate are essential for strong and effective boardsโก๏ธ Diversity fuels sharper oversight โ Varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences lead to richer discussions and better decisionsโก๏ธ Governance must be real-time and proactive โ Leveraging technology and data for timely insights can help boards detect and address issues before they escalate

Grateful to the Institute of Directors (IOD), India for curating such a powerful platform and to all the leaders I had the privilege to connect with.
I was also delighted to hear Nadir Godrej of Godrej Industries Group deliver his rhyming acceptance speech for the IOD Distinguished Fellows Awardโa lighthearted yet insightful moment that beautifully blended humor with valuable lessons for Directors.
