When my good friend Mr. Sahoo asked me to address this august gathering, I accepted with alacrity since I am aware that the ICSI has been dedicating itself to developing and regulating the profession with its vision of being a global leader in promoting good corporate governance and a mission to develop high caliber professionals to facilitate good corporate governance. I respect that.
ICSI is also nurturing professionals that are actively engaged in issues to enhance governance in the corporate sector as well as in the securities markets, the two vital growth engines of the economy. I applaud that.
