Re-appointment of Whole-time Director
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
Devyani International's board approved the re-appointment of Mr. Virag Joshi as Whole-time Director for 3 years starting January 1, 2026, pending shareholder approval. Three new senior management hires were made effective May 23, 2025: Mr. Rohan Kichlu as CEO of the Sanook & Tealive brands, Mr. Aditya Dev Pokhriya as COO-Food Court, and Mr. Nalin Kanaujia as Head of Legal. On the audit side, Sanjay Grover & Associates was appointed as Secretarial Auditor for a 5-year term and VGG & Co. was appointed as Internal Auditor for FY 2025-26, while Walker Chandiok & Co LLP was re-appointed as Joint Statutory Auditor for a second 5-year term. The 34th Annual General Meeting has been scheduled for July 28, 2025 via video conferencing.
These are largely continuity and governance housekeeping moves — no leadership exits or governance red flags. The new hires strengthen brand-level (Sanook & Tealive), food court operations, and legal leadership, while the audit re-appointments signal stability. Shareholders will vote on the director re-appointment and auditor appointments at the upcoming AGM.
