Abstract: The objective of this essay is to share the author’s perspective on the future of corporate governance practices in India. According to Iggers (2005, p 4)), historians agree that there are continuity and direction in history. With that notion, it is essential to understand the past and current practices in developing a perspective on how a particular construct or practice will take shape in the future. Governance practices depend on the internal and external contexts in which business firms operate. This essay endeavours to understand India’s corporate governance journey to develop a perspective on the future of corporate governance in India. The essay will be published in three parts. Part I, included in the current issue, covers the governance during the colonial era and during the command capitalism (1950 – 1990). Part II will cover the governance practices from 1991 to 2020. Finally, Part III will present a perspective on the future of corporate governance in India. The full bibliography will be included in Part III.
