Corporate Governance & Ethics

Integrity. Accountability. Transparency.

At Jagadeesh India Consulting Pvt. Ltd., corporate governance is not just a statutory requirement — it is the cornerstone of our identity and the foundation of trust we build with every client, partner, and stakeholder.

Our governance framework is built on transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct, ensuring that every consulting engagement reflects our unwavering commitment to responsible growth and sustainable impact.

Ethics by Design

"Governance and ethical conduct are embedded into our business model, not added as an afterthought."

We believe that true consulting excellence is measured not only by innovation and outcomes but also by integrity and compliance.

Our Governance Philosophy

Governance at Jagadeesh India goes beyond regulation — it's a culture that drives how we operate, decide, and deliver. We operate under the philosophy of "Ethics by Design" — meaning governance and ethical conduct are embedded into our business model, not added as an afterthought.

Transparency

Clear communication, open reporting, and stakeholder visibility in all activities.

Accountability

Every individual, from leadership to associates, is responsible for delivering ethical and measurable outcomes.

Compliance

Adherence to legal, regulatory, and industry standards at national and global levels.

Integrity

Unwavering honesty and fairness in decision-making and client relationships.

Sustainability

Commitment to long-term value creation rather than short-term gain.

Governance Framework

Jagadeesh India's governance model is structured to ensure independent oversight, ethical assurance, and strategic direction. The framework includes multiple layers of governance that balance strategic decision-making with operational integrity.

Board of Directors

Strategic oversight and compliance

Advisory & Ethics Committee

Ethical oversight and conflict resolution

Program Governance Units

Project monitoring and client reporting

1. Board of Directors

The Board oversees corporate strategy, resource allocation, and compliance with statutory regulations. It ensures the firm's direction aligns with both national development priorities and global consulting ethics.

Responsibilities include:

  • Approving corporate policies and long-term plans
  • Monitoring performance, financial integrity, and operational efficiency
  • Ensuring alignment with Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and MSME Ministry standards

2. Advisory & Ethics Committee

An independent committee that provides ethical oversight and ensures that all consulting activities adhere to professional integrity and client confidentiality norms.

The committee evaluates projects for potential conflicts of interest, risk management, and data sensitivity before approval.

This ensures fairness, neutrality, and independence in all engagements — particularly in multi-stakeholder and government-linked projects.

3. Program Governance Units

Each major engagement, such as government advisory or enterprise transformation projects, is supported by a Program Governance Unit (PGU).

These units ensure:

  • Defined accountability structures
  • Continuous monitoring and evaluation
  • Timely project reviews and corrective actions
  • Transparent client reporting

This system allows Jagadeesh India to manage complexity while maintaining compliance and quality across large-scale, multi-location projects.

Ethical Business Conduct

We take pride in being recognized as a values-driven consulting organization. Our Code of Business Conduct defines how every consultant, director, and associate is expected to operate — ethically, fairly, and responsibly.

Integrity in Relationships

We maintain fairness and respect in all client and partner interactions.

Zero Tolerance for Corruption

Jagadeesh India follows strict anti-bribery and anti-corruption standards across all operations.

Confidentiality

We uphold data privacy and client confidentiality through secure handling and restricted access.

Conflict of Interest Management

Employees and consultants must declare and resolve potential conflicts before project engagement.

Equality and Inclusion

We promote a workplace culture free from discrimination, bias, or favoritism.

Fair Procurement and Vendor Ethics

All third-party partnerships are selected through transparent and merit-based evaluation.

This ethical compass guides every consultant — ensuring Jagadeesh India remains a trusted partner in every engagement.

Data Governance & Security

As a consulting firm deeply involved in policy analytics, digital transformation, and data-driven decision-making, we treat data protection as a top priority.

Compliance with Regulations

Our Data Governance Framework ensures compliance with India's Data Protection and IT Act and international standards such as GDPR (where applicable).

Controlled Access

We implement controlled access to sensitive information through multi-level authorization protocols.

Encryption & Secure Storage

All client data and digital assets are encrypted and stored securely with regular backups.
