Akzo Nobel India announced three board changes effective January 9, 2026. Shantanu Maharaj Khosla (ex-P&G India MD, ex-Crompton Greaves Consumer MD, IIT Bombay/IIM Calcutta alumnus) was appointed as an Independent Director for a three-year term. Rajiv Rajgopal, previously Chairman & Managing Director, was re-designated as Joint Managing Director & CEO with no change in his other terms. Most notably, Parth Jindal — Managing Director of JSW Paints and JSW Cement and son of JSW Group's Sajjan Jindal — was appointed as a Non-Executive Director and designated as the new Chairman of the company. This follows JSW Paints' recent acquisition of Akzo Nobel's Dulux paints business in India. All new appointments are subject to shareholder approval via postal ballot.
The elevation of Parth Jindal to Chairman marks a significant promoter-level influence shift at Akzo Nobel India following JSW's acquisition of the Dulux brand, signalling tighter strategic alignment with the JSW Group. For shareholders, this represents a major governance change that could accelerate integration synergies but also concentrates board influence with the Jindal family. The re-designation of Rajiv Rajgopal from Chairman & MD to JMD & CEO may dilute his authority, and the stock may react to the perceived power shift.
