This paper explores the role of board meetings and gender diversity in enhancing the financial health of Indian companies. By reviewing empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, the research highlights the significant contributions of frequent board meetings and gender-diverse boards to financial stability, risk management, and profitability. The findings reinforce the importance of inclusive corporate governance practices and advocate for active participation from diverse board members in decision-making processes to drive sustainable business growth. This paper aims to expand the discussion on the mechanisms by which board meetings and gender diversity influence financial performance and suggests policy recommendations for improving governance structures.
