How might the appointment of Ms. Arati Naik as Executive Director impact Smartlink Holdings' long-term strategic direction, given her family ties to the Executive Chairman and potential concerns around corporate governance?
With Digisol Systems Limited's impairment reversal contributing significantly to standalone profits, what is the subsidiary's growth trajectory and could it sustain profitability improvements without such one-time adjustments in FY27?
How will the transition from Shridhar & Associates to M S K A & Associates LLP as statutory auditors affect investor confidence, and could the change in auditors reveal any previously unaddressed financial disclosures?
