At the core of the corporate governance practice is the Board of Directors, which oversees how the management serves and protects the long-term interests of all the stakeholders of the Company. The institution of the board of directors was based on the premise that a group of trustworthy and respectable people should look after the interests of the large number of shareholders who are not directly involved in the management of the company.
The position of the board of directors is that of trust, as the board is entrusted with the responsibility to act in the best interests of the company. Although the Board comprises individual directors, the actions and deeds of directors individually functioning cannot bind the company unless a particular director has been specifically authorized by a Board resolution to discharge specific responsibilities on behalf of the company. The Companies Act, 2013 does not contain an exhaustive definition of “director”. Section 2(34) of the Act prescribed that “director” means a director appointed to the Board of a company[2]. A director is a person appointed to perform the duties and functions of director of a company in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
Proviso to Section 149(1) Read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014
The idea of the Ladies Chiefs concocted Organizations Act, 2013, was to specify where the administration included a law and made it required to name a ladies chief in the top managerial staff of an Organization meeting explicit measures.

“The Organization or each official of the organization who is in default will be culpable with fine which will not be as much as Rs. 50,000 however which may stretch out to Rs. 5,00,000.”[5]
Conclusion
The Indian Government thought of this standard in the Organizations’ Demonstration 2013 for the strengthening of ladies that each organization who meet the accompanying models ought to have at any rate one lady chief. Area 149(1) is maybe the initial move towards accomplishing sexual orientation equity in the Indian corporate situation. Notwithstanding, there is a critical requirement for reevaluation dependent on the changing conditions and proceeded resistance by organizations. Expanding the number from one arrangement, expecting arrangements to be made to free directorship, including more classes of organizations and so on are conceivable and viable changes that can be delivered.
For ladies to have the option to perform at their best, straightforward and vague administrative changes alone cannot accomplish the reason. Women need to increase equivalent force in public activity, to have the option to choose and decide for them. There ought not to be any socio-social obstructions and especially cliché assumptions about their capacities and decisions by the enterprises or the law itself. To lay it out plainly, no business case or expanded advantages ought to be required or even used to fight for equivalent portrayal of ladies in the meeting rooms; they ought to have the option to unreservedly take an interest and be encouraged to do as such, essentially on the grounds that they reserve the “privilege” to it.[6]
