Notes on Company Secretaryship and Indian corporate law, written while I finish a career the long way.
Who I am
I’m Thanmayi Kadiam, a CS Finalist. I’ve cleared the CS Executive stage of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) programme and I’m currently working through the Professional programme. Once I qualify, I intend to start practice; this site is where I’m laying the foundation for that, publicly and in writing.
What I write about
My work here sits at the intersection of the CS curriculum and the way Indian companies are actually run. Three recurring threads:
- Explainers. Long-form pieces on Companies Act 2013, Secretarial Standards (SS-1, SS-2), SEBI LODR, FEMA and related rules — written to hold up months after an exam.
- Case notes. Short reads on board resolutions, NCLT orders, and corporate governance lapses that show the Act in motion.
- Practice tips. Drafting notes, filing walkthroughs, and the small procedural details that rarely make it into textbooks.
Why this site
Writing publicly forces clarity. It also builds a body of work that stands before I sign my first attestation — so clients, peers, and future collaborators can see how I think, not just what I’ve qualified in. If anything here is useful, or wrong, I’d like to hear.
Nothing on this site is legal or financial advice. For advice on your specific matter, consult a qualified Company Secretary or counsel.
