R Systems International Ltd has appointed Shailesh Sharad Kekre as the regular Chairperson of the Board effective June 29, 2026, following a comprehensive reconstitution of its Board of Directors and key committees. The Board approved the appointment of three new Additional Directors (Non-Executive Independent Director)—Mr. Shailesh Sharad Kekre, Ms. Sangeeta Kapil Jit Singh, and Mr. Srikanth Balachandran—and Mr. Pranav Damani as an Additional Director (Non-Executive Director). These changes were necessitated by the completion of the tenure of three existing Independent Directors and the resignation of a Non-Executive Director.
The Board noted that the term of Mrs. Ruchica Gupta, Chairperson and Independent Director, Mr. Kapil Dhameja, Independent Director, and Mr. Aditya Wadhwa, Independent Director, concluded at the close of business hours on June 28, 2026. Consequently, they ceased to be directors, and Mrs. Gupta ceased to be Chairperson. Additionally, Mr. Mukesh Mehta resigned from the post of Non-Executive Director effective June 28, 2026, citing preoccupation and other personal commitments.
Based on the recommendations of the Nomination, Remuneration and Compensation Committee, the Board appointed Mr. Shailesh Sharad Kekre, Ms. Sangeeta Kapil Jit Singh, and Mr. Srikanth Balachandran as Additional Directors (Non-Executive Independent Director) for a period of three months from June 29, 2026, or up to the ensuing General Meeting. The Board recommended their appointment as Independent Directors for a term of five consecutive years from June 29, 2026, to June 28, 2031, not liable to retire by rotation. Mr. Pranav Damani was appointed as an Additional Director (Non-Executive Director) for a similar interim period, with a recommendation for appointment as a Non-Executive Director liable to retire by rotation.
Consequent to the change in the composition of the Board, the committees of the Board were reconstituted effective June 29, 2026. Mr. Srikanth Balachandran was appointed Chairperson of the Audit Committee, while Ms. Sangeeta Singh was appointed Chairperson of the Nomination, Remuneration and Compensation Committee.
