In the latest episode of IPO Access, Karan Marwah, Partner and Capital Markets Advisory Leader, Grant Thornton Bharat, is joined by Gaganpreet Singh Puri, Partner and Crisis & Resilience Leader, Grant Thornton Bharat, for a candid conversation on preparing for the unexpected.
From whistleblower letters and cyber attacks to questions around management integrity, the discussion explores how a crisis can test a company at the most critical stage of its IPO journey.
Gagan shares why vulnerability and leverage shape how companies experience and respond to risks, why anticipating a crisis is more effective than simply reacting to one, and why the response team needs specialist expertise beyond legal or reputation management capabilities.
The conversation also looks at the role of boards and what can help preserve value when a crisis strikes. One message comes through clearly. Credibility is difficult to rebuild once it is lost. It starts with the willingness to acknowledge what went wrong.
A practical conversation for boards, promoters and leadership teams preparing to go public or already operating under public market scrutiny.
