The board of Deccan Health Care Ltd met on December 11, 2025, and approved three key changes. Ms. Samhitha Kandalkunta was re-appointed as a Non-Executive Independent Director for a 5-year term; she is an MBA (Finance) and law graduate with prior board experience. Ms. Karishma D. Patel was appointed as a Non-Executive Independent Director for a 1-year term; she is an IT professional with over a decade of experience in software development and database management. Separately, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer Ronak Darji resigned without serving the prescribed notice period. Mohita Gupta has been designated as Interim Compliance Officer until a new Company Secretary is appointed. Both director appointments are subject to shareholder approval at the next general meeting.
For shareholders, the resigning Company Secretary skipping the notice period is a minor governance red flag to watch, while the new directors bring added finance/legal and technology expertise to the board. Short-term stock impact is likely limited, but the company must quickly fill the vacant CS role to stay compliant with listing rules.
