PART III
 
 Item 10.  Directors and Executive Officers of the Company and Corporate Governance
 
 DIRECTORS
 
 Board of Directors; Independence
 
 Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes (Class A, Class B and Class C) with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term.  The term of office of the Class A directors, consisting of Mr. Shenoy, will expire at this 2011 Annual Meeting of stockholders.  The term of office of the Class B directors, currently consisting of Mr. Prins and Dr. Krishna, will expire at the 2012 Annual Meeting of stockholders.  The term of office of the Class C director, currently consisting of Mr. Mukunda, will expire at the 2013 Annual Meeting of stockholders.  These individuals have played a key role in identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target businesses, and structuring, negotiating and consummating acquisitions.
 
 The NYSE Amex, upon which the Company is listed, has rules mandating that the majority of the Board be independent.  Our Board of Directors will consult with counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors.  The NYSE Amex listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer or an employee of a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment.  Consistent with these standards, the Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Krishna, Prins and Shenoy are independent directors.
 
 The following table sets forth information regarding our directors as of July 12, 2011:

  BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
 
 Audit Committee
 
 Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee currently composed of three independent directors who report to the Board of Directors.  Messrs. Krishna, Prins and Shenoy, each of whom is an independent director under the NYSE Amex listing standards, serve as members of our Audit Committee.  In addition, we have determined that Messrs. Krishna, Prins and Shenoy are “audit committee financial experts” as that term is defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Audit Committee is responsible for meeting with our independent accountants regarding, among other issues, audits and adequacy of our accounting and control systems.
 
 Compensation Committee
 
 Our Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee composed of three independent directors, Messrs. Krishna, Shenoy and Prins.  The compensation committee’s purpose is to review and approve compensation paid to our officers and directors and to administer the Company’s Stock Plan.
 
 Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
 A Compensation Committee comprised of three independent members of the Board of Directors, Ranga Krishna, Richard Prins and Sudhakar Shenoy.  No executive officer of the Company served as a director or member of the compensation committee of any other entity.
 
 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
 
 We intend to establish a nominating and corporate governance committee.  The primary purpose of the nominating and corporate governance committee will be to identify individuals qualified to become directors, recommend to the Board of Directors the candidates for election by stockholders or appointment by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy, recommend to the Board of Directors the composition and chairs of Board of Directors committees, develop and recommend to the Board of Directors guidelines for effective corporate governance, and lead an annual review of the performance of the Board of Directors and each of its committees.
 
 We do not have any formal process for stockholders to nominate a director for election to our Board of Directors.  Currently, nominations are selected or recommended by a majority of the independent directors as stated in Section 804(a) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide.  Any stockholder wishing to recommend an individual to be considered by our Board of Directors as a nominee for election as a director should send a signed letter of recommendation to the following address: India Globalization Capital, Inc. c/o Corporate Secretary, 4336 Montgomery Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814.  Recommendation letters must state the reasons for the recommendation and contain the full name and address of each proposed nominee as well as a brief biographical history setting forth past and present directorships, employments, occupations and civic activities.  A written statement should accompany any such recommendation from the proposed nominee consenting to be named as a candidate and, if nominated and elected, consenting to serve as a director.  We may also require a candidate to furnish additional information regarding his or her eligibility and qualifications.  The Board of Directors does not intend to evaluate candidates proposed by stockholders differently than it evaluates candidates that are suggested by our board members, execution officers or other sources.
 
 Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
 The Audit Committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate,” as defined under the NYSE Amex listing standards.  The NYSE Amex listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.  In addition, we must certify to the NYSE Amex that the Audit Committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.  The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Krishna, Prins and Shenoy satisfy the NYSE Amex’s definition of financial sophistication and qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” as defined under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
 Board and Committee Meetings
 
 During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, our Board of Directors held sixmeetings.  Although we do not have any formal policy regarding director attendance at our Annual Meetings, we attempt to schedule our Annual Meetings so that all of our directors can attend.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, all of our directors attended 100% of the meetings of the Board of Directors.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, there were two meetings of the audit committee, all of which were attended by all of the members of the committee.  There were no compensation committee meetings held during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

The Company has adopted a written code of ethics (the “Senior Financial Officer Code of Ethics”) that applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers, including the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer, Controller and persons performing similar functions (collectively, the “Senior Financial Officers”) in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and the rules of the NYSE Amex.Investors may view our Senior Financial Officer Code of Ethics on the corporate governance subsection of the investor relations portion of our website atwww.indiaglobalcap.com.The Company has established separate audit and compensation committees that are described below.  The Company does not have a separate nominating committee.  Accordingly, Board of Director nominations occur by either selection or recommendation of a majority of the independent directors.
 
 SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
 Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of their ownership of shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Such executive officers, directors and stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  Based solely upon review of the copies of such reports received by us, our senior management believes that all reports required to be filed under Section 16(a) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 were filed in a timely manner.
 
 Item 11.  Executive Compensation
 
 Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
 Overview of Compensation Policy
 
 The Company’s Compensation Committee is empowered to review and approve, or in some cases recommend for the approval of the full Board of Directors the annual compensation for the executive officers of the Company.  This Committee has the responsibility for establishing, implementing and monitoring the Company’s compensation strategy and policy.  Among its principal duties, the Committee ensures that the total compensation of the executive officers is fair, reasonable and competitive.
 
 Objectives and Philosophies of Compensation
 
 The primary objective of the Company’s compensation policy, including the executive compensation policy, is to help attract and retain qualified, energetic managers who are enthusiastic about the Company’s mission and products.  The policy is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual and long-term strategic goals aligning executive performance with company growth and stockholder value.  In addition, the Board of Directors strives to promote an ownership mentality among key leaders and the Board of Directors.

 Table of Contents
  Setting Executive Compensation
 
 The compensation policy is designed to reward performance.  In measuring executive officers’ contribution to the Company, the Compensation Committee considers numerous factors including the Company’s growth and financial performance as measured by revenue, gross margin and net income before taxes among other key performance indicators.  Regarding most compensation matters, including executive and director compensation, management provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee; however, the Compensation Committee does not delegate any of its functions to others in setting compensation.  The Compensation Committee does not currently engage any consultant related to executive and/or director compensation matters.
 
 Stock price performance has not been a factor in determining annual compensation because the price of the Company’s common stock is subject to a variety of factors outside of management’s control.  The Company does not subscribe to an exact formula for allocating cash and non-cash compensation.  However, a significant percentage of total executive compensation is performance-based.  Historically, the majority of the incentives to executives have been in the form of non-cash incentives in order to better align the goals of executives with the goals of stockholders.
 
 Elements of Company’s Compensation Plan
 
 The principal components of compensation for the Company’s executive officers are:
 
 ·
base salary·
performance-based incentive cash compensation·
right to purchase the Company’s stock at a preset price (stock options)·
retirement and other benefits
 
 Base Salary
 
 The Company provides named executive officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year.  Base salary ranges for named executive officers are determined for each executive based on his or her position and responsibility.  During its review of base salaries for executives, the Committee primarily considers:
 
 ·
market data;·
internal review of the executives’ compensation, both individually and relative to other officers; and·
individual performance of the executive.
 
 Salary levels are typically evaluated annually as part of the Company’s performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility.
 
 Performance-Based Incentive Compensation
 
 The management incentive plan gives the Committee the latitude to design cash and stock-based incentive compensation programs to promote high performance and achievement of corporate goals, encourage the growth of stockholder value and allow key employees to participate in the long-term growth and profitability of the Company.  So that stock-based compensation may continue to be a viable part of the Company’s compensation strategy, management is currently seeking stockholder approval of a proposal to increase the number of shares of Company common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s Stock Plan.
 
 Ownership Guidelines
 
 To align the interests of the Board of Directors directly with the interests of the stockholders, the Committee recommends that each Board member maintain a minimum ownership interest in the Company.  Currently, the Compensation Committee recommends that each Board member own a minimum of 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with such stock to be acquired within a reasonable time following election to the Board.

 Table of Contents
  Stock Option Program
 
 The Stock Option Program assists the Company to:
 
 ·
enhance the link between the creation of stockholder value and long-term executive incentive compensation;·
provide an opportunity for increased equity ownership by executives; and·
maintain competitive levels of total compensation.
 
 Stock option award levels will be determined based on market data and will vary among participants based on their positions within the Company and are granted at the Committee’s regularly scheduled meeting.  As of March 31, 2011, we had granted 78,820 shares of common stock and 1,413,000 stock options under our Stock Plan.  All of these grants occurred during or before the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.  No options were granted during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.  The exercise price of the options, which vest immediately, was $1.00 per share; the options will expire on May 18, 2014.  As of March 31, 2011, under the 2008 Omnibus Plan, 471,045 options remain issuable under the plan.
 
 Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
 
 The Company provides some executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Company and the Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions.  The Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to named executive officers.  Some executive officers are provided use of a company automobiles and an assistant.  .  Each employee of the Company is entitled to term life insurance, premiums for which are paid by the Company.  In addition, each employee is entitled to receive certain medical and dental benefits and part of the cost is funded by the employee.
 
 Accounting and Tax Considerations
 
 The Company’s stock option grant policy will be impacted by the implementation of FASB ASC 718 (Previously referred to as SFAS No. 123R), which was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.  Under this accounting pronouncement, the Company is required to value unvested stock options granted prior to the adoption of FASB ASC 718 under the fair value method and expense those amounts in the income statement over the stock option’s remaining vesting period.
 
 Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code restricts deductibility of executive compensation paid to the Company’s chief executive officer and each of the four other most highly compensated executive officers holding office at the end of any year to the extent such compensation exceeds $1,000,000 for any of such officers in any year and does not qualify for an exception under Section 162(m) or related regulations.  The Committee’s policy is to qualify its executive compensation for deductibility under applicable tax laws to the extent practicable.  In the future, the Committee will continue to evaluate the advisability of qualifying its executive compensation for full deductibility.
 
 Compensation for Executive Officers of the Company
 
 As described above in “Compensation of Directors,” we pay IGN, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Mukunda, $4,000 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services, an amount which is not intended as compensation for Mr. Mukunda.  Around November 27, 2006, we engaged SJS Associates, an affiliate of Mr. Selvaraj, which provides the services of Mr. John Selvaraj as our Treasurer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer.  We have agreed to pay SJS Associates $5,000 per month for these services.  Mr. Selvaraj is the Chief Executive Officer of SJS Associates.  Effective November 1, 2007 the Company and SJS Associates terminated the agreement.  We subsequently entered into a new agreement with SJS Associates on identical terms subsequent to the acquisition of Sricon and TBL.
 
 On May 22, 2008, the Company and its subsidiary India Globalization Capital Mauritius (“IGC-M”) entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Ram Mukunda, pursuant to which he will receive a salary of $300,000 per year for services to IGC and IGC-M as Chief Executive Officer.  The Employment Agreement was approved in May 2008 and made effective as of March 8, 2008.

 Compensation of Directors
 
 No compensation was awarded to, earned by or paid to the directors in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 for service as directors.  All compensation paid to our employee director is set forth in the tables summarizing executive officer compensation above.  The Option Awards column reflects the grant date fair value, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R) for awards pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive program.
 
 Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 are included in Footnote 17 “Stock-Based Compensation” to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 14, 2011.  The Company cautions that the amounts reported in the Director Compensation Table for these awards may not represent the amounts that the directors will actually realize from the awards.  Whether, and to what extent, a director realizes value will depend on the Company’s actual operating performance and stock price fluctuations.
 
 We pay IGN, LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Mukunda, $4,000 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services.  We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Washington, DC metropolitan area that the fee charged by IGN LLC is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party.  The agreement is on a month-to-month basis and may be terminated by the Board of Directors without notice.
 
 Employment Contracts
 
 Ram Mukunda has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since its inception.  The Company, IGC-M and Mr. Mukunda entered into an Employment Agreement on May 22, 2008, which agreement was made effective as of March 8, 2008, the date on which the Company completed its acquisition of Sricon and TBL.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company pays Mr. Mukunda a base salary of $300,000 per year.  Mr. Mukunda was also entitled to receive bonuses of at least $225,000 for meeting certain targets for net income (before one-time charges including charges for employee options, warrants and other items) for fiscal year 2009and is entitled to receive $150,000 for meeting targets with respect to obtaining new contracts.  The Agreement further provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may review and update the targets and amounts for the net revenue and contract bonuses on an annual basis.  The Agreement also provides for benefits, including insurance, 20 days of paid vacation, a car (subject to partial reimbursement by Mr. Mukunda of lease payments for the car) and reimbursement of business expenses.  The term of the Employment Agreement is five years, after which employment will become at-will.  The Employment Agreement is terminable by the Company and IGC-M for death, disability and cause.  In the event of a termination without cause, the Company would be required to pay Mr. Mukunda his full compensation for 18 months or until the term of the Employment Agreement was set to expire, whichever is earlier.

  Compensation Risk Assessment
 
 In setting compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the risks to the Company’s stockholders and to achievement of its goals that may be inherent in its compensation programs.  The Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed its assessment with management and outside legal counsel and concluded that the Company’s compensation programs are within industry standards and are designed with the appropriate balance of risk and reward to align employees’ interests with those of the Company and do not incent employees to take unnecessary or excessive risks.  Although a portion of our executives and employees’ compensation is performance-based and “at risk,” we believe that our compensation plans are appropriately structured and are not reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Company.

 Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
 
 The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of July 11, 2011 by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock; each of our executive officers, directors and our special advisors; and all of our officers and directors as a group.
 
 Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose.  Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power.  It also includes shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right.  The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, which is based upon 20,960,433 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 11, 2011, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has exercised options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.

 Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
 
 During the last two fiscal years, we have not entered into any material transactions or series of transactions that would be considered material in which any officer, director or beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of any of the preceding persons, had a direct or indirect material interest, nor are there any such transactions presently proposed, other than the agreements with IGN, an affiliate of Ram Mukunda, and SJS Associates, an affiliate of John Selvaraj, described above and as set forth below.

 We do not maintain a formal written procedure for the review and approval of transactions with related persons.  It is our policy for the disinterested members of our board to review all related party transactions on a case-by-case basis.  To receive approval, a related-party transaction must have a business purpose for IGC and be on terms that are fair and reasonable to IGC and as favorable to IGC as would be available from non-related entities in comparable transactions.

 Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Auditors
 
 Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the audit committee of our Board of Directors has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor.  In recognition of this responsibility, our Board of Directors has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.  Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, management may submit, if necessary, an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of the following four categories of services to our Board of Directors for approval.
 
 1
Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.2
Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.3
Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.4
Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories.
 
 Prior to engagement, our Board of Directors pre-approves these services by category of service.  The fees are budgeted and our Board of Directors requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service.  During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval.  In those instances, our Board of Directors requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor.
 
 Our audit committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members.  The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to our Board of Directors at its next scheduled meeting.

 Table of Contents
  Pre-Approved Services
 
 The Audit Committee’s charter provides for pre-approval of audit, audit-related and tax services to be performed by the independent auditors.  The Audit Committee approved the audit, audit-related and tax services to be performed by independent auditors and tax professionals in 2011.  The charter also authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services.  The decisions of any Audit Committee member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.  The Audit Committee has not delegated such authority to its members.
 
 Audit Committee Report
 
 The Audit Committee of the Board is composed of three directors, each of whom meets the current NYSE Amex test for independence.  The Committee acts under a written charter adopted by the Board.  The Audit Committee has prepared the following report on its activities with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 (the “Audited Financial Statements”):
 
 ·         The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s Audited Financial Statements with management;



·         The Audit Committee discussed with Yoganandh & Ram, Chartered Accountants (“Y & R”), the Company’s independent auditors for fiscal year 2011, the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU §380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T;



·         The Audit Committee received from the independent auditors the written disclosures regarding auditor independence and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), discussed with Y & R its independence from the Company and its management, and considered whether Y & R’s provision of non-audit services to the Company was compatible with the auditor’s independence; and



·         Based on the review and discussion referred to above, and in reliance thereon, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Audited Financial Statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
 All members of the Audit Committee concur in this report.
