Hirect Limited announced that four key resolutions were passed with requisite majority through remote e-voting on October 3, 2026. The approvals cover the appointment of new directors and an extension for utilizing funds raised through a preferential issue.

The voting process, initiated following the dispatch of the Postal Ballot Notice on September 2, 2026, concluded on October 3, 2026. The results were scrutinized by GMJ & Associates, Company Secretaries, and filed with stock exchanges on October 5, 2026. A total of 138 members cast their votes across the resolutions.

Resolutions approved

Shareholders voted on two primary categories of governance and financial matters:

  • Director Appointments: Mr. Rahul Rai was appointed as an Independent Director for a five-year term. Mr. Anil Kumar Nemani was appointed as a Director and subsequently as Whole-Time Director, designated as Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, for a three-year period.
  • Fund Utilization Extension: Shareholders approved extending the timeline for utilizing funds raised through the issuance of equity warrants via a preferential issue.

Voting details

The resolutions required either Ordinary or Special majorities depending on the nature of the agenda item. The table below summarizes the voting outcomes based on the scrutinizer's report:

Resolution Type Votes in Favour Votes Against Result
Appointment of Rahul Rai as Independent Director Special 14,603,582 309 Passed
Appointment of Anil Kumar Nemani as Director Ordinary 14,583,428 19,963 Passed
Appointment of Nemani as Executive Director/CFO Special 14,583,428 19,963 Passed
Extension of fund utilization timeline Special 14,603,072 319 Passed

What the numbers show

A distinct divergence appears in shareholder sentiment regarding the appointment of Mr. Anil Kumar Nemani compared to other resolutions. While the appointments of Mr. Rahul Rai and the fund utilization extension received near-unanimous support (with dissent votes below 0.003%), the resolutions concerning Mr. Nemani saw significantly higher opposition. Approximately 0.14% of the total votes polled against both his directorship and CFO role were from institutional investors, who cast 19,854 votes against out of 46,987 votes polled by institutions. This suggests a specific reservation among institutional holders regarding this particular appointment, despite the overall majority passing the measures.
