Abstract Digital transformation has emerged as a pivotal force in reshaping the contours of corporate governance in India. The widespread adoption of digital tools, data analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally altering how Indian corporations approach board oversight, risk management, and compliance mechanisms. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current state of digital transformation within the corporate governance frameworks of Indian companies, drawing upon secondary data from regulatory reports, peer-reviewed academic journals, and authoritative industry studies.The analysis reveals that digitalization is significantly enhancing the transparency, accountability, and agility of governance processes. For instance, digital dashboards and secure board portals are enabling real-time access to critical information, thereby facilitating more informed and timely decision-making at the board level. Big data analytics and AI-driven insights are empowering boards to proactively identify and mitigate risks, while also streamlining compliance with increasingly complex regulatory requirements. The research highlights best practices among leading Indian firms, such as Infosys, HDFC Bank, and Tata Consultancy Services, which have institutionalized digital governance tools to improve board effectiveness and stakeholder trust.However, the paper also identifies several challenges associated with digital adoption in governance. Key concerns include heightened cybersecurity risks, data privacy issues, the digital skills gap among board members, and resistance to change within traditional board structures. Moreover, the rapid evolution of digital regulations necessitates continuous learning and adaptability on the part of directors and compliance officers.The paper concludes by offering practical recommendations for Indian companies to successfully integrate digital strategies into their governance frameworks. These include targeted upskilling initiatives, investment in robust cybersecurity infrastructure, and the adoption of integrated digital governance platforms. By embracing digital transformation, Indian companies can build more resilient, ethical, and value-driven governance systems that are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern business environment.
