Shah Teelani & Dhru provides structured GRC and ESG audit services for Indian companies navigating an increasingly regulated business environment. As governance, risk, and compliance requirements tighten under Indian law, and as ESG disclosures move from voluntary to mandatory, businesses need a reliable partner to assess, align, and report with confidence.
Our team helps you build stronger governance frameworks, manage risks proactively, and meet your ESG and compliance obligations under SEBI, MCA, and other applicable Indian regulatory frameworks.
We offer end-to-end GRC and ESG audit solutions tailored to the compliance and governance requirements of Indian businesses from listed corporates to mid-size enterprises.
A GRC audit is a comprehensive evaluation of an organisation's Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance frameworks. Our team reviews your governance structures, internal policies, risk registers, and compliance systems to identify gaps and strengthen overall organisational control. This audit is especially relevant for companies subject to the Companies Act, 2013, SEBI LODR regulations, and RBI or IRDAI guidelines.
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance; three pillars that regulators, investors, and stakeholders now use to evaluate the long-term sustainability of a business. Our ESG audit services assess your organisation against recognised frameworks including BRSR (Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting) mandated by SEBI, GRI Standards, and applicable MCA guidelines. We help you measure, document, and report ESG performance accurately.
The Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) is now mandatory for the top 1,000 listed companies by market cap in India. Our team supports companies in preparing, reviewing, and filing their BRSR disclosures in alignment with SEBI requirements, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and audit-readiness.
We assess your organisation's enterprise risk management (ERM) practices against established standards. This includes identifying key financial, operational, reputational, and ESG-related risks, evaluating existing mitigation controls, and recommending improvements to your risk governance structure as required under Regulation 21 of SEBI LODR.
Our corporate governance audit evaluates board structure, board committee effectiveness, related-party transaction disclosures, and internal compliance mechanisms. The review is aligned with the Companies Act, 2013, Secretarial Standards issued by ICSI, and SEBI guidelines giving your board and senior management a clear picture of governance health.
We conduct a structured review of your statutory compliance calendar, regulatory filings, and internal compliance tracking systems. This helps businesses avoid penalties, manage multi-regulatory obligations systematically, and demonstrate regulatory readiness to auditors, investors, and government bodies.

It helps businesses identify governance gaps, manage risks systematically, and demonstrate regulatory accountability.
Yes. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. An ESG audit evaluates how an organisation performs across these three dimensions — covering environmental impact, social responsibilities, and governance practices.

Yes. As per SEBI regulations, the top 1,000 listed entities by market capitalisation are currently required to file a BRSR as part of their Annual Report. SEBI has also indicated that ESG disclosure requirements will be extended further over time. Companies in scope benefit from a structured audit process to ensure their disclosures are accurate and compliant.

Yes. A compliance audit checks whether a business is meeting specific statutory and regulatory requirements. A GRC audit is broader — it evaluates the entire governance structure, the risk management framework, and the compliance ecosystem together, giving a more complete picture of organisational health and readiness.
