Equitas Small Finance Bank Launches New Book on Governance
Equitas Small Finance Bank Limited has announced the launch of its new book, “When Organisations Win – Governance, Trust and the Values of Equitas Small Finance Bank”. The book, dated September 07, 2026, delves into the bank’s governance journey and its principles for building sustainable organizations.
Insights into Equitas’ Governance Framework
Authored by Dr. CA Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh, a CFO, business coach, and author, the book offers an in-depth look at Equitas’ governance practices through conversations with P N Vasudevan, Managing Director & CEO of Equitas Small Finance Bank. It presents governance not just as rules and compliance, but as a way of thinking, behaving, and making choices, particularly in challenging situations.
The ‘Frames Approach to Governance’
A core concept highlighted in the book is the ‘Frames Approach to Governance’. This methodology encourages organizations to identify diverse governance perspectives, develop tailored action plans for each, and foster a dynamic governance model. The book explores various frames including Board-management alignment, regulatory sensitivity, communication with the RBI, customer-centric governance, and ethical leadership.
Reflections on Organizational Success
The publication draws from Equitas’ evolution from a microfinance institution to a Small Finance Bank, emphasizing how governance decisions have shaped its business trajectory. P N Vasudevan stated, “Governance is not a destination. It is a continuous journey. As an organisation evolves, its governance framework also needs to evolve.” The book questions whether organizational winning is solely about profit or also encompasses trust, integrity, responsible leadership, and creating lasting societal value.
