The book is authored by Dr CA Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh, a Chartered Accountant, former CFO, business and leadership coach, speaker and Independent Director. It is published by Notion Press and is available on Amazon, the publisher’s website and other platforms from the launch date.

Content and Governance Framework

When Organisations Win delves into Equitas’ governance journey, structured around the “Frames Approach”. This approach examines governance through multiple lenses, including:

  • Board‑management alignment
  • Sensitivity to regulatory signals and communication with the RBI
  • Learning from peers’ mistakes
  • Customer‑centric governance
  • Business model considerations
  • Credit risk management
  • Technology and operational controls
  • Investor relationships
  • Ethical leadership and societal impact

The book argues that governance is not merely a set of rules but a dynamic way of thinking, behaving and making choices, especially when organisations face difficult decisions, competing priorities and evolving risks.

Key Voices

Managing Director & Founder P N Vasudevan is featured throughout the book. In his launch remarks he stated, “Governance is not a destination. It is a continuous journey. As an organisation evolves, its governance framework also needs to evolve. The Frames approach has helped us look at governance from multiple frames and continuously challenge ourselves to do better.”

Author Dr Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh added, “My journey with Equitas began with curiosity… governance comes alive in the choices an organisation makes, especially when doing the right thing, even when nobody is watching.”

Target Audience and Purpose

The publication is aimed at business leaders, board members, independent directors, bankers, investors, students, aspiring leaders and anyone interested in corporate governance beyond compliance. It seeks to stimulate reflection, questioning and learning among organisations and leaders about building trust, sustainable value and resilience.
