What the Numbers Show
The sequential transactions highlight a structured consolidation of promoter interests into a trust vehicle. By transferring shares first to Mr. Gandhi individually and then to IVG Trust, the promoter group has centralized voting rights without altering the aggregate promoter holding percentage. This structure may facilitate streamlined governance and succession planning within the promoter family.
