The special resolution to alter the Articles of Association aimed to amend Clause 2 regarding the interpretation of equity shares. The change updates the definition to align with face value prescriptions under the Memorandum of Association.

Auditor Appointment Details

Pursuant to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, shareholders approved the re-appointment of M/s M S K A & Associates LLP (Firm Registration No. 105047W) as Statutory Auditors. The firm will hold office from the conclusion of the 37th AGM until the conclusion of the 42nd AGM in FY31.

M/s MSKA & Associates LLP, established in 1978, is registered with the ICAI and PCAOB. It is a member firm of BOO International and operates in nine major Indian cities including Mumbai, Pune, New Delhi, Gurugram, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Goa, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.

What the Numbers Show

The ratification of Mr. Sanghvi’s remuneration revealed a distinct divergence in shareholder sentiment based on investor category. While promoter group votes (which were disregarded as related-party interest) and public non-institutional investors voted almost unanimously in favor (99.99%), public institutional investors opposed the resolution by 65.45%. This split highlights institutional scrutiny regarding executive compensation exceeding limits prescribed under Regulation 17(6)(e) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, even as the resolution ultimately passed due to broader shareholder support.
