Popular Foundations Ltd's board, at its meeting on November 10, 2025, approved the unaudited financial results for H1 FY26 (ended September 30, 2025) and accepted the resignation of CFO N Chellappa. Revenue from operations rose about 42% year-on-year to ₹3,400.91 lakhs, but profit after tax fell sharply to ₹92.15 lakhs from ₹242.13 lakhs, with EPS dropping to ₹0.45 from ₹1.19. Total income stood at ₹3,408.21 lakhs while total expenses were ₹3,296.82 lakhs. The CFO will be relieved by close of business on November 15, 2025, with the company stating he is moving on to pursue opportunities outside the firm. The board also confirmed there is no deviation in the use of IPO proceeds, with ₹3.72 lakhs remaining unutilized in an escrow account.
The CFO exit removes a key managerial position at a small-cap company and may create short-term uncertainty, though a replacement process is expected. The mixed results — strong revenue growth alongside a sharp fall in profits — suggest margin pressure that shareholders should watch closely.
