Corporate Governance in India in 2024: Current Practices and Future Prospects

Corporate governance in India has undergone significant evolution over the past few decades, driven by regulatory reforms, global best practices, and shifting stakeholder expectations. This abstract provides an overview of the current state of corporate governance in India in 2024, highlighting key practices and emerging trends while also exploring future prospects. In 2024, corporate governance in India continues to be shaped by regulatory frameworks such as the Companies Act, SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) regulations, and listing requirements of stock exchanges. These regulations mandate transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct among corporate entities. The emphasis on board independence, composition, and diversity has intensified, with a growing recognition of the importance of gender diversity and expertise diversity in boardrooms. Moreover, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors have gained prominence, driven by investor demands for sustainable business practices. Indian companies are increasingly integrating ESG considerations into their governance frameworks to mitigate risks and enhance long-term value creation.
