Corporate governance is more than a compliance requirement—it is the cornerstone of trust, transparency and long-term value creation. Over the past two decades, I have engaged deeply with governance frameworks across both the public and private sectors, helping shape boards that are not only accountable to shareholders but also responsive to broader stakeholder expectations.

My journey in governance began through my work in international development and continued in India’s evolving corporate sector, where I have served as an Independent Director on a diverse set of boards. I bring to the table a unique blend of perspectives—of a public policy reformer, a health systems leader and a financial analyst. These have enriched my boardroom contributions, particularly in areas of risk oversight, strategy, ethics and institutional resilience.

I have earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation and completed the advanced governance training for audit committee members at the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA). These academic and professional foundations have enabled me to approach corporate governance with analytical rigour and contextual sensitivity.
