Mr. R.C. Bhargava, Chairman of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, has been honoured with The ICSI Lifetime Achievement Award for Translating Excellence in Corporate Governance into Reality by The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI).

The award was presented at the ICSI National Awards for Excellence in Corporate Governance by Dr. Raj Bhushan Choudhary, Hon’ble Minister of State for Jal Shakti, Government of India, along with Padma Shri Ms. P.

While accepting the award, Mr. R.C. Bhargava, Chairman, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “This prestigious award has been awarded to me, but the reality is that this recognition would not have been possible without the participation of the Maruti Suzuki management and employees. Over four decades, they have maintained high standards of ethics and integrity, and by doing so, made the award possible. I am very grateful to all of them and dedicate the award to all members of the Maruti Suzuki family, past and present.” 

He further added, “I believe good corporate governance requires the top management to clearly differentiate between right and wrong, implement this in all their own actions, act as trustees of the company assets, believe in team building, and look after the legitimate interests of all stakeholders.”
