Board Composition and Characteristics of Indian Corporate Boards

This book presents a comprehensive examination of the composition and characteristics of corporate boards in Indian corporations. Drawing upon regulatory frameworks, theoretical perspectives, and empirical evidence from listed Indian firms, the study provides an in-depth profile of board structures, diversity dimensions, and governance practices.Moving beyond performance-centric debates, the book adopts a descriptive and analytical approach to understand how ownership structures, statutory mandates, and institutional contexts shape Indian corporate boards. The findings offer valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, corporate leaders, and students of corporate governance.This book is based on a Minor Research Project under the ＂University Supported Research Project＂ scheme for the academic year 2020-2021 by the Research Consultancy Cell (RCC) of The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara.
