The IOD, India has been a champion for what I describe as responsible capitalism over many years. And what you have done is champion issues such as corporate social responsibility, minority shareholding, sustainability, and all of this before it became either fashionable or indeed became a must for corporate leaders to talk about.”
The Rt. Hon. Alok Sharma, MP
(the then) Hon’ble Minister of State for Employment at the Department of Work and Pensions Govt. of UK

IOD has really been very instrumental in enhancing the trade and investment between India and UK.
Every year, what they do here is remarkable.
Gopichand P. Hinduja
Co-Chairman
Hinduja Group, UK

I think I have to compliment IOD because they started talking about governance and
role of directors from 1990 onwards which was not as fashionable as it is today.
Ajay Piramal
Chairman
Piramal Group & Shriram Group

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Institute of Directors (IOD) for this esteemed opportunity. I commend the IOD for organizing such a prestigious event in the UAE, a hub of innovation and business excellence, and for their valuable partnership with the Ministry of Economy.
His Excellency Abdullah Ahmed Al Saleh
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Economy, Government of UAE

The Institute of Directors has played a crucial role in shaping the corporate landscape in India. Their leadership and vision in organising this conference underscore the importance of addressing climate change and environmental risk.
Hon’ble Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi
Judicial Member, Lokpal of India
former Chairperson, Law Commission of India
former Chief Justice, Karnataka High Court

Institutions like IOD see to it that perhaps a lot of encouragement can be given to
the corporate sector to mend its ways and to be on the right side of everything.
Hon’ble Justice U. U. Lalit
former Chief Justice of India
