Plot of Movie

Corporate centers around the power games between two industrialists, The Sehgal Group of
Industries (SGI) owned by Vinay Sehgal (Rajat Kapoor) and the Marwah Group of Industries
(MGI) owned by Dharmesh Marwah (Raj Babbar). The two companies are traditional rivals in
the food & beverages products business. Bipasha Basu plays Nishigandha Dasgupta aka Nishi,
vice president of SGI, while Vinay Sehgal's brother-in-law Ritesh (Kay Kay Menon) joins in
later as senior vice president.
Ashwini, a politician backed by Sehgal, become the Union Finance Minister, which helps the
Sehgal Group to enter a lucrative partnership with international food products giants Friscon.
In a CII meeting, the state Finance Minister Gulabrao declares that a public sector unit (PSU) is
for sale. Both the companies pounce into the competition using every tactic they have to
outperform each other. But last-minute politicking by Marwah with Gulabrao leads to the PSU
going to the Marwah Group, leaving Sehgal disappointed.

Ten days before the launch of the drink, Sehgal learns that the FDA has found the presence of a
large amount of pesticides in the drink. But Sehgal, cold-heartedly, decides to launch the product
by bribing the FDA agents. However, CEO Naveen resigns from the SGI. The drink is a great
success. However, another of SGI's executive is unhappy that Ritesh is being made the CEO, and
he gives Marwah the information that SGI's product contains pesticides. Marwah along with
Gulabrao blow up the issue in the media, leading to a raid on the SGI plants and a case on the
Sehgals. Sehgal decides that the only solution is for an employee of SGI who is not a member of
the Sehgal family to take the blame for the blunder. Nishi is chosen for that role.
Ritesh is called on by his sister Chayya Sehgal, where she asks him to convince Nishi to sacrifice
for the company. Initially disagreeing, Ritesh agrees to convince Nishi on the insistence of
Sehgal as he promises that Nishi would be released by the Enquiry Commission soon. A foreign
investor holding major stake in Friscon, urges Ashwini to settle the dispute between the two as
this would lead to capital flight and foreign investors will pull back their investments, causing
serious havoc in the business market. Ashwini discusses the issue with Gulabrao and both the
ministers mediates between Marwah and Sehgal to settle down the issue. Marwah agrees to
withdraw all the allegations suited through NGO's and drawing their limitations in Friscon
company. However, Gulabrao refuses to release Nishi as it would dent his chances of chief
minister-ship as elections roars near.
Meanwhile, Ritesh comes to know that Nishi is pregnant with his baby. Ritesh, angry about it,
threatens to expose Sehgal in front of the media if Nishi is not released within 48 hours. The next
day he is found dead, having fallen from the terrace of his apartment building. It is assumed to be
suicide but some think otherwise. The movie ends the narrator of the story concluding that
Marwah and Sehgal are living happily in their world, whereas there is no place of emotions in
corporate world as Nishi is the victim of the corporate tactics. The movie shows Nishi still
fighting the case after two years of the incident with her child.
