Rajasthan Securities Limited has restructured its top leadership by splitting the combined role of Chairman and Managing Director into separate positions. The Board of Directors approved the appointment of Ravindra Ramesh Maloo as the company’s non-executive Chairman, while Nikhilesh Khandelwal will continue as Managing Director and CEO. The changes took effect on August 19, 2026.

The decision follows a recommendation from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. By separating the executive and non-executive leadership roles, the company aims to enhance corporate governance structures. Mr. Khandelwal relinquished his title as Chairman but retains operational control as the executive head of the organization.

Leadership Changes

Mr. Maloo, who joined as an additional non-executive director on August 13, 2026, brings over 24 years of experience in securities trading and investment management. His professional background includes serving as Vice President and Regional Director at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers Ltd from 2006 to 2016. Since 2016, he has been engaged in independent trading and investment activities, with a specialization in options trading.

Mr. Khandelwal, who joined Rajasthan Securities Limited in 2014, continues to oversee day-to-day operations. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj University and has been instrumental in driving the company’s digital transformation and market expansion.

Committee Reconstitution

The Board also reconstituted the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to align with the new leadership structure. Mr. Maloo replaced Mr. Khandelwal as a member of the committee. The updated composition includes:

The appointments are subject to shareholder approval at the ensuing general meeting. Both directors have disclosed no relationships with other board members and are not debarred by SEBI or any other regulatory authority.

Rajasthan Securities reported a net loss of ₹486.90 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a sharp reversal from the profit of ₹7,293.63 lakh recorded in the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2026. Total income from operations for the period stood at ₹973.67 lakh, down significantly from ₹7,614.00 lakh in Q4FY26.

The company’s earnings per share (EPS) turned negative, registering a basic and diluted EPS of (₹0.63) per share, compared to ₹7.95 in the previous quarter. For the full financial year ended March 31, 2026, Rajasthan Securities had reported a net profit of ₹8,099.41 lakh on total income of ₹13,271.21 lakh.

Financial Performance Overview

The unaudited financial results, approved by the Board of Directors on August 13, 2026, highlight a volatile start to FY27 compared to the strong finish of FY26. The statutory auditors have carried out a limited review of the results and expressed an unmodified audit opinion.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between the current quarter’s revenue and the previous quarter’s figures is stark. While total income in Q1FY27 (₹973.67 lakh) is comparable to the same period last year (₹983.87 lakh), it represents less than 13% of the revenue generated in the final quarter of FY26 (₹7,614.00 lakh). This suggests that the substantial profit recorded in Q4FY26 may have been driven by non-recurring or seasonal factors that did not persist into the new fiscal year, leading to the current operational loss.
