SMIFS Capital Markets held a board meeting on April 4, 2025, where two new directors were appointed. Mr. Samarth Parekh (DIN: 00199598) was appointed as an Additional Non-Executive, Non-Independent Director. Notably, he is the son of existing Director Mr. Utsav Parekh, bringing over 15 years of investment banking experience and a degree from Babson College. Mr. Anil Kumar Murarka (DIN: 00571568) was appointed as an Additional Non-Executive, Independent Director for a five-year term. He is a practising Company Secretary with 33 years of experience and a former President of ICSI. The board also reconstituted four committees — Audit, Nomination & Remuneration, Stakeholders' Relationship, and Committee of Directors — to include the new appointees.
The appointment of the promoter family's next generation (Samarth Parekh, son of Utsav Parekh) to the board signals continuity of family control at SMIFS Capital Markets. Adding a highly credentialed independent director (former ICSI President) may strengthen governance. These appointments need shareholder approval within three months, otherwise they would lapse.
