The Board of GMM Pfaudler approved the resignation of Group CFO Mr. Alexander Poempner, effective from the close of the Q2 FY27 results board meeting on November 4, 2026. He will stay on until December 31, 2026 to ensure smooth handover after about 5 years in the role. Mr. Ankit Nayyar, currently Deputy CFO (joined May 2026), will take over as the new Group CFO from November 4, 2026. Nayyar is a Chartered Accountant with nearly two decades of experience spanning pharma, specialty chemicals and financial services, previously CFO of PI Health Sciences, and held senior roles at Pfizer, Bayer Monsanto India, MSCI and Tata AIG.
Orderly CFO transition with internal-elevated successor. Nayyar brings strong pharma and chemicals finance experience. Short-term disruption expected to be minimal.
