Promoters and promoter group members, holding 3,536,953 shares, cast 1,045,597 votes, accounting for nearly 29.56% of their holdings.

Institutional public shareholders recorded zero participation across all resolutions.
Voting channel analysis
The newly disclosed scrutinizer report provides a granular view of how votes were cast across different channels. For each resolution, 106 members participated in total. Of these, 11 members utilized remote e-voting prior to the meeting, casting 1,061,754 votes in favor. The remaining 95 members voted live during the AGM via Video Conferencing, contributing 45,948 votes in favor.
Notably, the single dissenting vote of 10 votes originated entirely from the remote e-voting channel. No dissenting or invalid votes were recorded during the live e-voting session at the AGM.
| Voting Channel | Members Participating | Votes In Favor | Votes Against |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remote E-Voting | 11 | 1,061,754 | 10 |
| E-Voting At AGM (VC) | 95 | 45,948 | 0 |
| Total | 106 | 1,107,702 | 10 |
What the numbers show
A stark divergence exists between promoter and public voting intensity. While promoters exercised roughly 30% of their voting power, public non-institutional investors utilized less than 2% of their aggregate stake. The near-identical vote counts across all three resolutions suggest that the minority dissent was likely static rather than issue-specific.
Furthermore, the voting channel data indicates that remote e-voting participants held significantly larger stakes per individual compared to those voting live. The average remote voter cast approximately 96,523 votes, whereas the average live voter cast roughly 483 votes. This suggests that institutional or large retail holders preferred the convenience of remote voting, while smaller shareholders engaged directly during the meeting.
