When tough decisions matter most: Governance, behaviour, valuation in the Indian start-up ecosystem

​Governance is no longer just a compliance issue—it is a valuation issue. Yet, despite its growing importance, few forums bring founders, investors, board members and governance professionals together to have an open, practical conversation on how governance decisions influence enterprise value. This convention seeks to bridge that gap by exploring how transparency, accountability, board oversight and founder behaviour shape investor confidence, fundraising, resilience and long-term business success. Through candid discussions, real-world case studies and practical insights drawn from both successes and failures, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the governance practices that distinguish enduring, investment-ready businesses from those whose value can quickly unravel in times of growth, crisis or market uncertainty.
