Sai Silks (Kalamandir) Limited has issued a corrigendum to the notice of its 18th Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for August 10, 2026, to rectify omissions regarding maximum tenure limits in two draft resolutions. The Hyderabad-based textile retailer identified that the original notice, dispatched on July 17, 2026, failed to specify the duration of appointment for its incoming Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the period for which commissions would be payable to independent directors. The revised documents, which supersede the earlier drafts, are now integral to the AGM proceedings and will be voted upon via e-voting.
The corrigendum addresses Item No. 5 and Item No. 7 of the AGM notice. Under Item No. 5, the company seeks shareholder approval for the appointment of Mr. Bharadwaj Rachamadugu as CEO. The revised resolution explicitly states that the appointment is for a period of five years, effective from May 12, 2026. Mr. Rachamadugu, who is currently serving as Senior Vice President, will receive a monthly remuneration of ₹5,00,000. He is a related party, being the son-in-law of Managing Director Nagakanaka Durga Prasad Chalavadi, which necessitates approval under Section 188 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Item No. 7 pertains to the payment of commission to Non-Executive Independent Directors. The original resolution did not define the timeframe for this compensation structure. The corrected resolution specifies that the commission shall be payable for a maximum period of five years, commencing from the financial year 2026-27. The aggregate commission payable to all such directors shall not exceed 0.5% of the net profits of the company per annum, computed in accordance with Section 198 of the Companies Act, 2013. This payment is in addition to sitting fees for attending board or committee meetings.
| Resolution Item | Subject | Key Revision in Corrigendum |
|---|---|---|
| Item No. 5 | Appointment of CEO | Specifies a five-year tenure for Bharadwaj Rachamadugu, effective May 12, 2026. |
| Item No. 7 | Director Commission | Caps commission at 0.5% of net profits for five years, starting FY2026-27. |
Mr. Rachamadugu brings over 11 years of experience across retail, finance, and textiles, with more than eight years associated with Sai Silks. His portfolio includes leading the company’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) process, overseeing investor relations, and driving digital transformation initiatives. The Board of Directors, acting on recommendations from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Audit Committee, determined that his remuneration is commensurate with his qualifications and the company’s operational scale.
The proposal to pay commissions to independent directors aims to retain their expertise in strategic leadership, governance, and financial oversight. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee recommended this structure during its meeting on July 15, 2026, noting that independent directors contribute significant time and attention to board deliberations. The actual amount payable to each director will be determined by the Board based on appropriate parameters, within the statutory cap.
Shareholders are advised that votes cast previously on the uncorrected drafts for Items 5 and 7 will be construed in light of these revisions. The e-voting facility and timeline remain unchanged as per the original AGM notice. All other contents of the AGM notice remain unaffected by this corrigendum.
