Companies Bill, 2011...FINALLY!

India first began work on a new Company Law in 2004 with the establishment of the Irani Committee. That was also the year the European Union included 10 new countries in its biggest ever expansion. 11 long years later, the EU is on the brink of collapse and India is only now, finally, on the verge of enacting a new company law. The points Im trying to make is two-fold- the world has changed dramatically in the time this Bill has taken way to get here - which begs the question: has the Companies Bill, 2011 kept up with the fast changing world of global business?  To answer that question on the first of our special shows on the Bill, I am joined by Bharat Vasani of the Tata Group and Shobhan Thakore of Talwar Thakore.
