Mindteck's board, which met on May 23, 2025, elevated Interim CFO Mr. Santosh Nandiyath to Chief Financial Officer effective May 24, 2025. He is a Chartered Accountant with 15 years of experience across Deloitte, EY GDS, CitiusTech, and Altisource. The board recommended a 10% final dividend (Re. 1 per share of Rs. 10 face value) for FY 2024-25, subject to shareholder approval. It also brought forward the relieving date of Managing Director and CEO Mr. Anand Balakrishnan from May 31, 2025 to May 26, 2025, signalling an earlier-than-planned exit. Additionally, 70,000 ESOP stock options were granted at Rs. 229.72 per share (previous day's NSE closing price), Mr. S Kannan was appointed as Secretarial Auditor for 5 years, and Vasan & Sampath LLP was re-appointed as Internal Auditor for FY 2025-26.
The 10% dividend is a routine, modest cash return and unlikely to move the stock. The bigger concern for shareholders is the accelerated exit of the MD & CEO - a five-day pull-forward of the relieving date can suggest an abrupt separation rather than a planned transition. Elevation of the existing Interim CFO offers some continuity in finance leadership, but the CEO transition warrants close watch.
