Mrs. Geetika Khandelwal has resigned as Independent Director effective May 29, 2026, citing personal reasons. The company acknowledged her valuable contribution during her tenure. Simultaneously, Mrs. Shweta (29, Master's degree holder with 3 years management experience) was appointed as Additional Director and Independent Director for a 5-year term (May 28, 2026 to May 27, 2031), subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing AGM. She holds no shares in the company. Three board committees (Audit, Nomination & Remuneration, and Stakeholders Relationship) were reconstituted effective May 29, 2026, with Mrs. Shweta appointed as Chairperson of the Audit Committee.
The resignation of an independent director followed by immediate board reconstitution suggests a planned transition rather than a governance concern. The company's quick appointment of a replacement maintains board independence compliance. However, the new director is relatively young (29) with limited experience (3 years), which some investors may view as a concern for oversight quality.
