Institute Of Directors
Institute of Directors was established on 12 July 1990 in India, as an apex association of Directors to improve their professional competence. It was soon obvious, that it had a far wider remit. From the personal development of Directors, it soon embraced boardroom development as a whole, and then organization-wide transformation. IOD India since has grown to associate with more than thousands of senior executives representing prominent organisations from both the Private & Public and Govt worldwide.
IOD aims to be a leading business professionals club with the highest ethical standards that delivers exceptional values for its members, employees and stakeholders. We have a different vision of leadership: a leader is someone who brings people together. We work on earning your trust and delivering you the best services possible.
IOD India's 'Masterclass for Directors’, the training for corporate directorship and Golden Peacock Awards in 13 different disciplines and other flagship initiatives aim to improve the competitiveness of individual Directors and their Organizations. The 'Masterclass' programme prepares participants to become Independent Directors of listed companies. Both have become global benchmarks. No business award today receives the kind of recognition and adulation among peers that the Golden Peacock does.
The IOD India's activities extend from training, monthly lectures to Workshops, National and International Conferences on issues such as Quality, Environment, Climate Change, Occupational Health and Safety, Corporate Governance, Cyber Security, Competition Law, Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility, held in India and abroad.
