Independent Director Exits Hit Multi-Year High in 2025

In 2025, a lot more independent directors in Indian companies are leaving their jobs before their term ends compared to previous years.

This is the highest number since 2017.

There have been 510 resignations so far this year, which is more than last year's 393 and much higher than 2019's 265.

The reasons for leaving include personal issues, health, moving to new places, and some say it's because of rules and regulations.

Big companies with a value of over Rs 10,000 crore have seen less than 12% of these exits.

Experts say there's more pressure on these directors now, and people are becoming more aware of their responsibilities.

The textile sector has seen the most resignations, but exits are happening across over 60 different sectors.
