Medi Caps Limited has appointed Akshit Garg as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Key Managerial Personnel (KMP), effective August 7, 2026. The appointment follows the resignation of Hemant Sethi from the CFO role, which became effective at the close of business hours on June 6, 2026. This leadership transition coincides with the company’s Q1FY27 financial results, which showed a narrowed net loss of ₹223.29 lakh compared to ₹349.19 lakh in the same period last year.
In addition to the CFO change, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Ramesh Chandra Mittal (DIN: 00035272) from the position of Chairperson and Non-Executive Non-Independent Director, effective August 6, 2026. These disclosures were made pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Part A of Schedule III and Regulation 30(5) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The Board also authorized Key Managerial Personnel to determine materiality for future stock exchange disclosures.
Leadership Transitions
The reshuffle consolidates operational control within the founding family. Alongside Akshit Garg’s appointment as CFO, Saloni Garg was appointed as Whole Time Woman Director, both roles commencing August 7, 2026. Their previous roles as Senior Manager and General Manager were resigned effective August 6, 2026.
The Board also approved the re-appointment of Alok K. Garg as Chairman cum Managing Director for a three-year term starting September 1, 2026. All these appointments require shareholder approval at the 43rd Annual General Meeting scheduled for September 22, 2026.
| Executive | Designation | Effective Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hemant Sethi | CFO | June 6, 2026 | Resigned |
| Ramesh Chandra Mittal | Chairperson | August 6, 2026 | Resigned |
| Akshit Garg | CFO | August 7, 2026 | Appointed |
| Saloni Garg | Whole Time Woman Director | August 7, 2026 | Appointed |
Financial Context
The leadership changes occur against a backdrop of improving but still loss-making operations. Consolidated revenue from operations rose 3.7% year-on-year to ₹278.69 lakh in Q1FY27. Total expenses declined by 22.2% to ₹507.12 lakh, driven by lower freight costs. However, the company continues to incur losses due to high fixed costs relative to sales volume. Standalone operations reported a reduced loss of ₹58.96 lakh, with negligible revenue of ₹10.49 lakh.
What the Numbers Show
The departure of Hemant Sethi and the appointment of Akshit Garg signal a strategic shift in financial oversight during a period of cost optimization. While the narrowing net loss indicates that expense control measures are taking effect, the reliance on non-operating gains remains a factor. Other income dropped significantly from ₹33.49 lakh in Q1FY26 to ₹5.14 lakh in Q1FY27, suggesting that previous periods benefited from one-off items. The new CFO will oversee finances as the company attempts to stabilize its pharmaceutical division, which contributed ₹268.20 lakh in segment revenue but posted a segment loss of ₹164.33 lakh before tax and interest.
