Equitas Small Finance Bank has launched a new book about how it is governed.
Dr CA Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh wrote the book after speaking extensively with P N Vasudevan.
The book says governance is more than following rules.
It is also about making careful and honest choices.
The book describes Equitas’ Frames Approach to Governance.
This approach looks at difficult decisions from several viewpoints.
It discusses customers, risks, technology, regulators, boards and investors.
It also explains how governance influenced Equitas as it became a Small Finance Bank.
The authors hope the book will help leaders think about governance in their own organisations.
Equitas Small Finance Bank launched “When Organisations Win – Governance, Trust and the Values of Equitas Small Finance Bank.”
The book was authored by Dr CA Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh through conversations with P N Vasudevan.
It presents governance as a mindset and value-driven decision-making process, rather than only compliance.

Quotes
Dr CA Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh
Author of the book
“Governance comes alive in the choices an organisation makes, especially when doing the right thing even when nobody is watching. This book encourages leaders to look at governance through a wider lens and reflect on what it could mean in their own organisations.”

“Governance is not a destination. It is a continuous journey. As an organisation evolves, its governance framework also needs to evolve. The Frames approach has helped us look at governance from multiple frames and continuously challenge ourselves to do better.”
