- Re-appointment of Ms. Susan John as a director, replacing her rotation under Section 152(6) of the Companies Act, 2013.
- Appointment of Ms. Manimekhalai A as an independent director.
- Re-appointment of Mrs. Shirley Thomas as an independent director.

What the Numbers Show
The voting pattern reveals a sharp divergence between promoter and public institutional sentiment regarding Ms. Susan John’s re-appointment. While promoters voted 100% in favor, public institutional investors voted against her re-appointment at a rate of 99.13% (120,441 votes against vs 1,061 for). Despite this near-unanimous opposition from institutions, her re-appointment passed due to the overwhelming weight of promoter votes, which constituted roughly 94% of the total votes polled in favor. This highlights the significant influence of the promoter group in governance decisions despite low overall retail participation.
