Equitas Small Finance Bank launched a new book titled When Organisations Win on September 7, 2026. The publication explores the role of governance, trust, and values in building sustainable organisations.

The book is authored by Dr CA Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh, an Independent Director and CFO turned business coach. It features conversations with P N Vasudevan, Managing Director & CEO of Equitas Small Finance Bank Limited.

Governance as a Dynamic Model

The publication moves beyond viewing governance as a set of rules or compliance requirements. Instead, it frames governance as a way of thinking, behaving, and making choices during difficult decisions or evolving risks.

At the core of the book is the Frames Approach to Governance. This model encourages organisations to identify different frames of governance and develop action plans for each, leading to a dynamic governance structure.

Key governance frames explored include:

• Board-management alignment
• Sensitivity to regulatory signals
• Communication with the RBI
• Customer-centric governance
• Ethical leadership
• Impact on society

Insights from Leadership

P N Vasudevan described governance as a continuous journey rather than a destination. He noted that the Frames approach has helped the bank challenge itself continuously and evolve its governance model in tune with changing times.

Dr CA Sangeeta Shankaran Sumesh stated that her journey with Equitas began with curiosity about its governance philosophy. She observed that governance comes alive in choices made when doing the right thing, even when unobserved.

Target Audience and Impact

The book aims to stimulate reflection among business leaders, board members, bankers, investors, and students. It presents the Equitas experience as a case study to encourage organisations to look at governance through a wider lens.

The title captures the aspiration that organisations earning stakeholder trust through responsible leadership should create a "WOW" impact. The book concludes that the governance journey continues with every decision and choice to do the right thing.
