The Corporate boards have been at the centre of many reforms, especially the game changing Indian Companies Act 2013. The boards need to realize that there are gaps between governance ideals and governance realties, which need to be closed to ensure effective corporate functioning. One such gap, which has caught recent attention, is the Board Diversity gap. Any well functioning board requires a heterogeneous composition of skills, nationality, culture, gender and most importantly thoughts. The One day Seminar on Board Diversity, is an attempt to deliberate on the perspective and prospects of a diverse board and its effectiveness. The Seminar also aims to discuss the special role and vitality of gender diverse boards and their impact on corporate performance. In a nutshell, the Seminar aims to discuss how boards can be more inclusive and future ready.
