Equippp Social Impact Technologies will serve as an advisor for Grace Cancer Foundation’s Zero Coupon Zero Principal (ZCZP) issue on the NSE Social Stock Exchange. The issue opens from October 7 to October 9, 2026, with a proposed size of ₹1 crore.

The company is providing its intellectual property platforms, book-building tools, and supporting frameworks for the issuance process. Investors can access the Expression of Interest through the designated portal. This engagement marks a specific operational role for Equippp in facilitating social capital mobilization for the foundation.

Strategic alignment with C-DSB initiative

This development aligns with Equippp’s Constituency Development & Sustainability Bridge (C-DSB) initiative. Under this framework, Equippp has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Telangana State Legislative Secretariat to establish C-DSB foundations across 119 constituencies. Grace Cancer Foundation has committed to supporting activities in two pilot constituencies under this initiative, linking the financial instrument directly to grassroots implementation.

History in the social stock exchange ecosystem

Equippp has been engaged with the Social Stock Exchange ecosystem since its announcement in 2019. The company conducted a knowledge session in Hyderabad in 2023, which was attended by the founder of Grace Cancer Foundation. More recently, Equippp held a session with Dr. Bhaskar Chatterjee, a key architect of India’s CSR framework, focusing on the emerging role of CSR through the SSE. That session resulted in expressions of interest and pledges from multiple participants towards supporting social-impact initiatives.

What the numbers show

The structure of the deal highlights a shift towards technology-enabled philanthropy. By acting as an advisor rather than just a platform provider, Equippp integrates its IP platforms directly into the capital formation process for non-profits. The ₹1 crore issue size, with a minimum application of ₹1,000, indicates a retail-focused approach to mobilizing social capital. Furthermore, the commitment to two pilot constituencies within the broader 119 constituency C-DSB framework suggests that the funds raised are earmarked for localized cancer screening and early-detection programmes, creating a direct feedback loop between investor participation and community impact.

Equippp Social Impact Technologies Limited passed all six resolutions proposed at its 34th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on September 30, 2026. The meeting was conducted via Video Conferencing and Other Audio-Visual Means.

The company adopted the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. This resolution received overwhelming support, with 99.99% of the votes polled in favor.

Director appointments and reappointments

Shareholders approved several key changes to the board composition. Mrs. Vindhya Dronamraju was reappointed as a director retiring by rotation and subsequently approved for a five-year term as Whole-Time Director effective November 5, 2026. Mr. Vegendla Srinivasa Rao was appointed as a Non-Executive, Non-Independent Director.

Additionally, Dr. Narendra Mairpady was reappointed as an Independent Director for a second consecutive five-year term starting November 5, 2026. The remuneration payable to Executive Director Mr. Sreenivasa Chary Kalmanoor was also approved by shareholders.

Voting details and participation

The voting results indicate high promoter participation and minimal dissent from public shareholders. Promoters and the promoter group voted in favor of all resolutions with 100% support across all items. Public non-institutional shareholders showed slight dissent, primarily on director-related matters.

What the Numbers Show

The voting data reveals a stark divergence in shareholder engagement between promoters and the public. While promoters cast votes on 89.13% of their holding, public non-institutional shareholders participated in only 29.63% of their holding. This low public turnout meant that the small number of dissenting votes from the public category (ranging from 7,310 to 7,710 votes) constituted a negligible fraction of the total votes polled, ensuring easy passage of all resolutions despite minor opposition.
