This study empirically examined the relationship between corporate governance factors, namely CEO duality, independent directors, board meeting frequency, board size, gender diversity, audit committee size and audit committee meetings, and intellectual capital performance. The above premise is studied using data of 26 commercial banks listed on the Indian Stock Exchange (NSE) from 2010 to 2020. The study used purposive sampling as the methodology and multiple regression models with VAIC and ROA as attributes. VAIC measures the efficiency of intellectual capital. ROA is used to determine financial performance. The results of the study reveal that the use of observational data, independent directors, frequency of board meetings and audit committee size has a positive and significant effect on intellectual performance at a 10% significance level. According to the study’s findings, audit committee meetings have a positive impact on intellectual capital performance at a 1% significance level, while board size has a negative impact at a 5% significance level. Among the study results, CEO duality, board meeting frequency and board size have a positive and significant effect on financial performance with 1% significance. Board gender diversity has a negative impact on financial performance. The study’s findings indicate that there is no single best way to design corporate governance that applies to all corporate situations, and that good corporate governance factors have a significant impact on improved intellectual capital performance.
