The ‘Leadership’ category of the Indian Corporate Governance Scorecard, as evaluated by Institutional Investor Advisory Services (IiAS), has been bestowed upon HDFC Life, a prominent life insurer in India, and the company is pleased to share the news. Companies that achieved an overall score of 75 or higher as of December 31, 2025, are eligible to receive this honour.
The unwavering dedication of HDFC Life to openness, responsibility, and best-in-class Corporate Governance is evident in this significant achievement. This achievement in the ‘Leadership’ category is a major step forward for HDFC Life’s Corporate Governance as the company celebrates its 25th anniversary. “It is with deep humility that we accept this recognition in the ‘Leadership’ category of the Indian Corporate Governance Scorecard,” said Narendra Gangan, HDFC Life’s general counsel and chief compliance officer. It is a reflection of the dedication of all employees at HDFC Life to maintaining excellent corporate governance practices. Corporate governance is more than just a regulatory requirement; it is an underlying principle that guides our business practices. We are motivated to maintain our excellent standards as we continue to assist millions of Indian families, thanks to this honour.
Working together, IFC, BSE, and IiAS created the foundation for the Indian Corporate Governance Scorecard. Its implementation in 2015 followed its foundation in the G20/OECD Principles of Corporate Governance. The evaluation, which is considered a standard for good corporate governance in India, comprises 100 businesses from the BSE index.
