Ms. NEHAL MAHENDRA THAKER

Nehal Mahendra Thaker is a Governance and Ethics professional with more than two decades of experience in governance, regulatory and secretarial matters.

She is the Founder of Aaken Advisory Private Limited and a mentor to experienced professionals preparing for their journey towards Independent Directorship.

Since 2020, she has been mentoring professionals, including senior leaders and MD-level professionals, through one-on-one Proficiency Test. Mentoring—with individual attention extending beyond the examination to their larger Boardroom journey.

Her mentoring philosophy is simple:

A Board seat is not merely an opportunity to be obtained. It is a responsibility to be prepared for.

Governance Seeds Diary is an extension of that philosophy—a space for aspiring Directors to pause, reflect, question and consciously prepare for the Boardroom.

A Mentor who makes you pause, reflect and choose—between conscience and compensation.
