Partner Poonam Sharma has been featured in the cover story of the latest edition of BW Businessworld.
The cover story, The Trust Test, examines the evolving corporate governance landscape in India’s banking sector through the lens of recent developments at HDFC Bank. It explores how governance, transparency, and institutional trust shape investor confidence and long-term value, even for fundamentally strong financial institutions.
Sharing her perspective, Poonam notes that while HDFC Bank’s financial performance remains robust, the current discussion extends beyond earnings to investor perception. She observes that governance concerns can influence the “governance premium” associated with an institution, reinforcing the importance of trust, transparency, and reputation in sustaining long-term value.
