Organic Recycling Systems Limited approved the immediate cessation of Mr. Yashas Bhand, Whole-time Director and Chief Executive Officer, on September 24, 2026. This decision follows his disappearance during a pilgrimage to the Kailash Mansarovar region in Nepal, where he was affected by natural calamities and floods.
The Board of Directors cited the lack of updates regarding Mr. Bhand’s whereabouts from concerned authorities as the primary reason for the action. Efforts by his family and coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs, Indian authorities in Nepal and China, and local officials have not yet yielded information about his status.
Board Appointments and AGM Changes
In conjunction with the cessation, the Board appointed Mrs. Janaki Sarang Bhand as a Director liable to retire by rotation. Consequently, the company issued a corrigendum to the notice for its 18th Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for September 30, 2026.
The original Item No. 2 of the AGM notice, which proposed Mr. Yashas Bhand’s appointment, has been withdrawn. It is replaced by a new resolution to appoint Mrs. Janaki Sarang Bhand. All other terms of the AGM notice dated September 2, 2026, remain unchanged.
