17 April, 2023, Bengaluru: The Centre for Corporate Governance and Sustainability (CCGS) at IIM Bangalore will host the inaugural session of the Young Directors’ Forum (YDF), a unique initiative that CCGS is launching for young and aspiring Directors to serve on the Boards of companies, on 27th April 2023 (Thursday). The session will be held virtually from 6.00 pm to 7.30 pm.
Suresh Narayanan, Chairman & Managing Director, Nestle India Ltd., will inaugurate the Young Directors’ Forum and deliver an address on ‘Corporate Governance in India: Is an Independent Director, a Guardian or a Burden?’
The YDF will be chaired by Prof. Padmini Srinivasan, Chairperson, Centre for Corporate Governance and Sustainability and faculty from the Finance & Accounting area of IIM Bangalore. During the inaugural session, she will deliver an address on ‘Imperatives & Challenges of Corporate Governance in India’. Prof. Chetan Subramanian, Dean, Faculty and faculty of the Economics area of IIMB, will also address the audience.
The YDF aims to be a unique learning and engagement platform to enhance Board effectiveness, facilitated through a highly focused learning programme. It will be an assemblage of Directors and senior executives, who are young and aspiring Directors, to serve on the Boards of companies. ‘Young’ in the ‘Young Directors’ Forum’ is not restricted to age alone but will also include all Board members and senior management executives from private, public and family-managed businesses as well as Independent Directors. This could cut across SMEs, listed companies, unlisted private companies and start-ups, who will be brought together for capability development and mentorship to give them exposure to Corporate Governance practices, policies and culture.
The Young Directors’ Forum would include 90-minute online sessions on the last Thursday of every month, from 6.00 pm to 7.30 pm, for a period of one year from April 2023 to March 2024. During the programme, there will be collaborative learning, individual feedback and discussions on first-hand experiences of guest speakers, who have served in Board leadership roles in a range of organizations. These sessions will include discussions on Corporate Governance and Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) policies and practices by Indian companies as well as global organizations. The speakers at the forum will include experts from industry as well as faculty from IIMB. YDF has attracted the participation of select delegates from industry and academia across India.
