The government of India and their departments and agencies actively consider and utilize our research findings. Several of our research papers have been presented and discussed in the Parliament of India and have been quoted by the government as responses to questions from lawmakers and stakeholders.

For the past 15 years, TA supplements its research division with providing corporate advisory and solutions to complex business problems. TAC is one of the pioneers in providing external ombudsman services to some of the world’s largest Indian conglomerates. TAC also advises some of the largest family offices in India on their governance of investments and dealing with internal and external disputes and challenges. TAC advises angel investors, venture capital and private equity funds by conducting governance reviews for these funds and investors on target companies. TAC also conducts governance matrix reviews for companies for them to enhance their corporate governance and stakeholders. TAC also provides solutions for all anti-sexual harassment at the workplace practices including setting up an anti-sexual harassment complaint mechanism and advising the internal complaints committee on best practices.

TAC has proven experience in developing various frameworks for the use of the government of India, industry and international bodies. We also help private organisations prepare reports and evaluations that align with prevalent global ESG reporting practices such as preparing Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reports, devise CSR strategies and support them in establishing systems and procedures to improve compliance. This structured approach allows for integration of responsible business practices into operations, making sustainability an intrinsic part of decision-making rather than a compliance-driven afterthought.
