Abstract	Whistleblowing plays a crucial role in upholding transparency and integrity within corporate governance frameworks. This article examines the definition and importance of whistleblowing, particularly within the Indian corporate context. It traces its historical development and the evolution of whistleblowing practices, supported by landmark cases that have shaped legal reforms in India. The paper further analyses significant legislative measures, including the Whistle Blowers Protection Act, 2014, and its relevance to corporate entities. Importantly, the study also highlights the often-neglected psychological and social consequences faced by whistleblowers, ranging from mental health challenges to social alienation. It emphasizes the need for effective support systems and protective mechanisms to safeguard whistleblowers’ rights and well-being. By combining legal analysis with the human dimension of whistleblowing, the article offers a holistic perspective on its implications for corporate governance in India.
