Strategic Shift: Telecom to Entertainment
The EGM has been convened to seek shareholder approval for a significant strategic transformation — moving from the telecom sector to the entertainment industry. The Board of Directors approved the name change to Prabhat Entertainment Limited on April 13, 2026, following approval from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on May 4, 2026. The proposed name is reserved for a period of 60 days. Shareholders will vote on altering the Name Clause in the Memorandum of Association and substituting the existing name with the new one. The company also seeks approval to replace Clause III A and Clause III B of the Memorandum of Association to align its objects with the new business focus, encompassing music creation, composition, production, publishing, distribution, and commercialization of music and audio-visual content, including cinematograph trade and film exhibition.
Appointment of Managing Director
The EGM will also consider the appointment of Mr. Shivanshu Pandey as Managing Director for a period of five years, effective May 15, 2026, to May 14, 2031. Mr. Pandey was appointed as an Additional Director on April 30, 2026, and brings expertise in corporate governance, strategic planning, and the entertainment industry. The Board recommended his appointment based on his experience in strategic business operations.
The remuneration terms include a gross pay of ₹2,00,000 per month, with annual increments effective from April 1 each year at the Board's discretion. The package is subject to the limits under Schedule V of the Companies Act, 2013, and includes provisions for minimum remuneration in the event of inadequate profits, along with specific termination clauses requiring three months' notice or payment in lieu.
