Advocacy

Represent the interests of Indian GCs by engaging with governments on proposed laws and providing input on key policy and legislative matters.

Training and Development

Organise internships, skilling, mentorship, training, and networking programmes to guide younger members in governance, compliance, and professional growth.

Ethical Standards
