CII’s Corporate Governance Charter for Startups

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has introduced a Corporate Governance Charter specifically for startups, providing a voluntary code aimed at instilling good governance practices early in their lifecycle. The Charter offers detailed guidance across various growth stages of a startup, from inception through to going public, focusing on aspects like board formation, compliance, stakeholder management, and risk management. This initiative aims to help startups establish robust governance frameworks that enhance their credibility, operational efficiency, and overall chances of long-term success.
