FOREWORD Vladislava Ryabota Regional Lead for Corporate Governance in South Asia, IFC Welcome to this second report on the Indian Corporate Governance Scorecard, developed jointly by the BSE, IFC and Institutional Investor Advisory Services (IiAS), with the financial support of the Government of Japan. The goal of a scorecard is to provide a fair assessment of corporate governance practices at the corporate level. This, in return, gives investors, regulators and stakeholders key information to help them in their decisions with regards to such companies. Since we started this journey in India, with our first scorecard issued in December 2016, a lot of dynamic changes have been set in motion. For instance, the scorecard of 2016 scored 30 companies, and now we have a 100 in this year’s edition. We were also happy to notice that several best practice requirements, covered by the scoring methodology, have been recommended by the Kotak Committee, formed in 2017 at the initiative of the Securities and Exchange Board of India. Changes have also taken place at the regulatory level to incite investors to take a more active role at Annual General Assemblies and vote in order to bring positive changes in the practices of their investee companies. All these changes form part of an overall dynamic aimed at helping the private sector raise its visibility in India and throughout the world and IFC is proud to be a solid partner and actor to this initiative.
