CNBC-TV18’s Managing Editor Shereen Bhan was awarded the Compliance 10/10 Award on Monday, October 10, 2023, at a glittering event in Mumbai. She was recognised for the transformational impact her contribution has had to the field of compliance and ethics in the arena of journalism.
"I see this award as validation that an ethical and compliance-driven approach to business need not take a back seat when growing and nurturing a successful brand. I see this as recognition of not just myself, but of our entire young team of journalists and TV and web professionals at CNBC-TV18 and CNBCTV18.com who work painstakingly every day – and often through the night – to deliver credible, responsible, relevant, usable, valuable insight and information to audiences across platforms. That credibility we enjoy is a result of transparency in what we do, and our commitment to delivering while upholding the highest standards of journalism and story-telling,” she said.
This is the ninth edition of the awards hosted by Legasis. It brings together business leaders and legal and compliance professionals each year to celebrate excellence in Governance, Risk, Assurance, Compliance, and Ethics. The event aims to recognise the contributions of those individuals, teams and organisations that have spearheaded the fostering of this culture of compliance and ethics not only in their respective organisations but also across the industry.
Past Winners in the category include Sandeep Kapoor (then of Sequioa), Rajiv Chandan of Tata Chemicals, Nasser Munjee (then of DCB Bank), Shyamala Gopinath (then of HDFC) & veteran journalist Sucheta Dalal.
