Mr. Kiran Bharatkumar Gandhi has ceased to be an Independent Director of Vantage Knowledge Academy Ltd with effect from the close of business on September 30, 2025, after completing two consecutive five-year terms (10 years total) as required under SEBI regulations. The Board recorded its appreciation for his contributions during the tenure. To fill the vacancy, Mr. Ganesh Shivpujan Pal has been appointed as an Additional Non-Executive Independent Director effective October 1, 2025, subject to shareholder approval. Mr. Pal is an associate member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) and an LLB with experience in legal and investment management. The reconstituted board now has five directors, and three committees (Audit, Nomination & Remuneration, and Stakeholders Relationship) have been updated accordingly.
This is a routine board refresh driven by the mandatory 10-year term cap for independent directors, not a sudden or unexplained exit. The prompt appointment of a replacement suggests the company is committed to maintaining the required board composition, which is neutral to positive for governance continuity.
