Institute of Company Secretaries of India is planning to open international offices in at least 10 countries next year, ICSI president Ranjeet Pandey said on Tuesday.
With more company secretaries moving to various countries, there was need for more International offices abroad, he told reporters here.
The institute has two overseas branches at present and plans to open an office in London in the near future, Pandey said.
