Starcom Information Technology Limited shareholders unanimously approved all resolutions at the 31st Annual General Meeting held on September 30, 2026. The meeting, conducted via video conferencing, saw significant support for the re-appointment of Managing Director Ziaulla Sheriff.
The voting results, disclosed in a filing to BSE on October 5, 2026, confirm that both ordinary and special business items received overwhelming approval. The company’s compliance with SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, was maintained through electronic voting facilitated by National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL).
Voting outcomes on key resolutions
Shareholders voted to adopt the audited standalone financial statements for FY26 alongside the Board and Auditor reports. Simultaneously, they approved the continuation of Ziaulla Sheriff as Managing Director and Chairman for a five-year term, including permission to serve beyond the age of 70 under Section 196(3) of the Companies Act, 2013.
| Resolution | Members in Favour | Votes in Favour | % of Valid Votes | Members Against | Votes Against |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adoption of FY26 Financial Statements | 18 | 38,13,318 | 100.00% | 1 | 1 |

Participation and scrutiny details
The scrutinizer’s report, prepared by CA Nikunj Jain of Jain Nikunj & Co, noted that remote e-voting remained open from September 27 to September 29, 2026. A total of 794 shareholders were on the record date, with 24 distinct shareholder groups participating in the voting process across promoters and public categories.
What the numbers show
The voting data reveals a highly concentrated shareholder base with minimal dissent. While one member cast a single vote against each resolution, this represented less than 0.0001% of the total valid votes cast. The identical vote count for both financial adoption and management re-appointment suggests that the minority dissent likely stemmed from a single entity or individual holding a negligible stake, rather than broad institutional or public opposition to the company's governance or performance.
