Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
K Lalitha resigned as CFO effective 3 October 2025 and gave up her key managerial personnel role, though she will remain in the finance function without that status. The board appointed Srishti M Bathija as CFO with immediate effect. She is a chartered accountant with over 10 years of finance experience. Anand Raghavan was appointed a non-executive independent director for five years, subject to shareholder approval.
The CFO handover may create short-term uncertainty, but the new CFO has strong finance experience. The director addition may improve board oversight.
