Asia Pack Ltd's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on 29th May 2026, approved the removal of Mr. Jitendra Purohit as Chief Executive Officer, effective the same date. The removal was attributed to a severe chronic illness that rendered him indisposed and unable to fulfill his duties, having been unavailable for more than 45 days in a rolling 90-day period. Simultaneously, the Board appointed Mr. Manish Kumar Kothari as the new CEO, also effective 29th May 2026. Kothari holds a Master's in Commerce with over 14 years of experience in Accounts, Finance, and Taxation, bringing strong financial management expertise to the role.
The CEO transition was driven by health reasons rather than governance concerns, which is relatively neutral for investors. The appointment of an experienced finance professional as CEO may signal a focus on stronger financial discipline going forward.
