Institute of Directors (IOD) was established in India on 12 July 1990, as a 'not for profit', apex association of Corporate Directors under the India's 'Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860' to improve their professional competence. It has since grown to associate with more than 31,000 senior executives from Govt, PSU and Private organisations. IOD organises a number of international events each year, in India and certain other select countries at UK, UAE and Singapore.

Offers a wide range of Training Programmes for Company Directors & Sr. Executives
The enactment of the Companies Act, 2013 has brought a number of provisions which will help the directors and the companies to ensure better corporate governance. The learning curve of understanding the functioning of the board is considerably shortened by putting in place a well-structured training programme for all directors, focused at bringing forth the best practices and qualitatively informing the directors of the legal as well as socio-economic regime they are functioning in. IOD has also setup a special wing called 'Organization for Non-Executive Independent Directors', mandated to look after the placement of Independent Directors in India.
