Gautam Exim Limited approved the re-designation of Parmeshwar Ojha from Whole-time Director to Non-Executive Director, effective August 12, 2026. This governance change was ratified by shareholders during the company's 21st Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on September 30, 2026.

The meeting, conducted via Video Conferencing from 11:00 am to 11:45 am IST, also adopted the audited standalone financial statements for FY26 and appointed new statutory auditors. Voting was executed through remote e-voting prior to the AGM and e-voting during the session.

Key resolutions passed

The shareholders approved four primary agenda items:

1. Adoption of Financial Statements: The audited standalone financial statements for FY26, along with the Board of Directors' and Auditors' reports, were adopted. The Statutory Auditor's Report and Secretarial Auditor's Report did not contain any qualifications, observations, or adverse remarks.
2. Director Re-appointment: Varsha Agrawal (DIN: 11129358) was re-appointed as a Non-Executive Director. She retired by rotation and offered herself for re-appointment, being eligible.
3. Auditor Appointment: M/s SASA & Associates, Chartered Accountants (FRN: 024712C), were appointed as Statutory Auditors to fill a casual vacancy caused by the resignation of M/s B. A. Desai & Associates.
4. Director Re-designation: Parmeshwar Ojha (DIN: 11129072) was re-designated from Whole-time Director (Executive) to Non-Executive Director.

Governance and compliance updates

The appointment of SASA & Associates addresses a casual vacancy in the auditor's position, ensuring continued compliance with statutory audit requirements for the remainder of the term. The re-designation of Ojha signals a shift in his role within the executive structure, moving him to a non-executive capacity while retaining his directorship.

Detailed voting results and the Scrutinizer's Report, mandated under Regulation 44(3) of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, will be submitted separately within two working days or 48 hours of the meeting's conclusion. CS Varun Bhomia & Co., Practicing Company Secretaries, served as the Scrutinizer for the remote e-voting process and e-voting during the AGM.

Meeting logistics and attendance

The AGM commenced at 11:00 am and concluded at 11:43 am IST, with the registered office deemed the venue. Mr. Rajkumar Agrawal, Managing Director, presided over the meeting. Key personnel attending included Statutory Auditor CA Vivek Goyal, Internal Auditor CS Gajendra Singh Solanki, and all Directors, including the Chairpersons of the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration, and Stakeholders Relationship Committees.

Details of director change

The following table summarizes the specifics of the re-designation as disclosed in the regulatory filing:

Ojha possesses rich experience in corporate management and operational functions. The company confirmed that he is not debarred from holding the office of Director by virtue of any SEBI order or other authority.

Gautam Exim reported a 66.5% year-on-year increase in net profit to ₹22.17 lakh for FY26, even as revenue from operations fell 19.8% to ₹2880.91 lakh. The company scheduled its 21st Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 30, 2026.

The Board of Directors approved the annual report and financial results during a meeting held on August 30, 2026. The meeting was conducted via video conferencing at the registered office in Vapi, Gujarat.

Financial Performance

Revenue from operations declined to ₹2880.91 lakh in FY26, compared to ₹3530.81 lakh in FY25. Total expenses decreased by 20.3% to ₹2851.14 lakh. Despite the lower top line, EBITDA grew by 34.3% to ₹76 lakh (₹0.76 crore), and profit before tax rose by 87.2% to ₹30 lakh (₹0.30 crore).

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue decline and profit growth highlights significant margin expansion. EBITDA margin improved to 4.34% from 2.06% in the previous year. This operational efficiency offset the volume contraction, resulting in a net profit margin rise to 0.76% from 0.36%. Other income dropped sharply to ₹0.19 lakh from ₹61.36 lakh in FY25, indicating that the profit growth was driven by core operational margins rather than non-operating gains.

Key Governance Updates

The Board approved several critical governance matters:

• Appointment of CS Varun Bhomia as the independent scrutinizer for the AGM voting process.
• Approval of M/s SASA & Associates as Statutory Auditors to fill the casual vacancy caused by the resignation of M/s B.A. Desai & Associates.
• Change in designation of Mr. Parmeshwar Ojha from Whole-time Director to Non-Executive Director, effective August 12, 2026.
• Re-appointment of Mrs. Varsha Agrawal, who retires by rotation.

Capital Structure Changes
