What led to the creation of your company?

The issue at hand is that governance is a critical driver of performance and a vital aspect of ESG. Despite this, numerous governance-related tasks continue to be performed manually, resulting in a potential lack of productivity and compliance. The primary reason for this is the absence of a comprehensive solution that can enable corporate secretaries and board members to digitize their governance practices in a secure and efficient manner. As a result, several organizations are grappling with difficulties in streamlining their governance processes, which may result in inefficiencies, errors, and potential compliance challenges.
