Hiring managers for Company Secretary roles read a headline to see ACS or FCS status, whether you are in employment or hold a certificate of practice, and the regime you know best: Companies Act, SEBI LODR, FEMA or IBC. Listed-company, NBFC and startup compliance are treated as separate tracks, so name yours plainly.

Written by the DigitalCVMaker team for company secretaries applying in India. Every example is original — none is copied from a real person’s profile — and each is built around what employers and clients in this field look for: the role, a specialism, and proof you can back up. We revise the page when that changes; the date at the top shows the last update.
These are examples to adapt, not real people. Swap in your own numbers, specialisation, city and achievements — it only works when every word is true for you.
No. The title Company Secretary belongs to qualified ICSI members. Write CS Executive cleared or CS Professional student with your training role, such as secretarial trainee, and name the tasks you handle. Accurate status protects your credibility, since employers can verify membership on the ICSI website.
Yes, when the role blends legal and secretarial work, as in startups, NBFCs or group companies. A combined CS and LLB signals drafting and contract ability. For purely listed-compliance roles, keep the law degree secondary and lead with LODR and insider-trading experience instead.
