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

Thank you to the Institute of Directors for your leadership in championing this key topic.”
Donald H Brydon CBE
(the then) Chairman
London Stock Exchange Group and The Sage Group Plc.
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 complement IOD because they started talking about governance and role of directors from 1990 onwards which was not as fashionable as it is today.”
