Waaree Energies announced a major leadership change at its March 20, 2026 board meeting. Mr. Amit Paithankar has been mutually relieved as Whole-Time Director and CEO, earlier than the previously communicated exit date of May 15, 2026. He is being replaced by Mr. Jignesh Rathod, the current CEO-Designate and a long-serving internal employee since 2007, appointed for a 5-year term starting March 21, 2026. CFO Ms. Sonal Shrivastava has also resigned (completing her notice period), and internal candidate Mr. Abhishek Pareek (Group Head Finance, with the company since 2017) has been named as the new CFO. Additionally, two senior managerial appointments were made: Mr. Munna Singh as Deputy CFO and Mr. Varun Goenka as President – Growth & Strategy, both effective April 1, 2026.
While the simultaneous exit of the CEO and CFO could raise short-term governance concerns, the company has appointed experienced internal candidates to both roles, suggesting continuity. Investors should watch for any further disclosure on the circumstances around the CEO's accelerated exit and the strategic direction under the new leadership team.
