Anjali Bansal joined Shri M Damodaran, ex-SEBI Chief, Ms. Shefali Goradia, Chairperson at Deloitte SEA, and Mr. Saugata Gupta, MD and CEO at Marico, for an engaging panel discussion at 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲 on the topic - ‘𝘉𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘪𝘯 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘜𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘺’. The discussion centred around how company boards must adapt and evolve to remain effective in today’s fast-changing world of technological disruption, climate risk and increasingly complex geopolitical uncertainty, balancing short-term market shifts with long-term strategic goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS: 📌 Companies that proactively and strategically turn uncertainty into opportunity will unlock exponential growth, while those that don’t may face obsolescence. 📌 Boards must evolve to integrate #ArtificialIntelligence and #ClimateChange considerations into governance strategies to support long-term business success. 📌 As mentioned by Anjali Bansal, “Expertise can become obsolete”. Learning agility is key for a board looking to differentiate itself in its governance approach. They must continuously reinvent and redefine their capabilities to remain ahead of the curve while anchoring them with a strong vision for long-term growth. 📌 The board must identify gaps in knowledge and seek external insights where necessary to drive informed decision-making. 📌 The board’s primary responsibility is to future-proof the organization, ensuring adaptability, resilience, and a culture of transparency, innovation, and forward-thinking leadership. #LeadershipDialogues #BoardsoOfTheFuture #Leadership #Boardroom #Innovation #FutureOfBusiness #CorporateGovernance
