Everything Starts at the Top
In the boardroom, every decision shapes the future of the enterprise.
Boards today operate in an environment where disruption unfolds faster than deliberation, scrutiny is relentless and the consequences of poor governance are immediate. In Everything Starts at the Top, Srinath Sridharan and Agamjeet Dang examine how board governance is being redefined in real time, challenging long-held assumptions about oversight, independence and leadership in an increasingly complex business landscape.
Drawing on insights from board practitioners, promoters, investors and institutions across Corporate India, the book moves beyond governance theory to address the realities of today’s boardroom—from compressed decision-making cycles and digital risks to succession planning, reputational challenges and institutional resilience. Practical, candid and forward-looking, it is a blueprint for building boards equipped to lead the enterprises of tomorrow.
