The Board of Directors of Ventive Hospitality has approved a proposal to merge Sun Leisure (India) Private Limited into Soham Leisure Ventures Private Limited. The decision, taken during a board meeting on August 04, 2026, seeks to consolidate the company’s hospitality business under a single entity to enhance operational efficiency and resource utilization. This structural change is intended to create a more investor-friendly framework by bringing all related business activities under the transferee company, Soham Leisure.
The merger falls under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with Schedule III and SEBI Circular No. SEBI HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026. The transaction involves two entities within the Ventive group: Sun Leisure (India) Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Soham Leisure, and Soham Leisure Ventures Private Limited, which is itself a subsidiary of Ventive Hospitality. As both entities are part of the same group and engaged in similar lines of business, the Board determined that amalgamation would lead to effective management and unified control.
Financial details of the merging entities as of March 31, 2026, highlight the scale of the consolidation. Sun Leisure holds a paid-up capital of ₹5,00,00,000 and reported a turnover of ₹2,06,30,000. In contrast, Soham Leisure has a significantly larger paid-up capital of ₹29,55,99,900 and a turnover of ₹40,66,40,000. The merger will absorb the smaller entity’s assets and cash flows into the larger subsidiary, streamlining the group’s financial structure.

|---|---|---|
| Paid-Up Capital (as on March 31, 2026) | ₹5,00,00,000 | ₹29,55,99,900 |
| Turnover (as on March 31, 2026) | ₹2,06,30,000 | ₹40,66,40,000 |
The transaction does not involve any cash consideration or share exchange ratio, as it is an internal group restructuring. Consequently, there will be no change in the shareholding pattern of the listed entity, Ventive Hospitality. The Board noted that the merger is subject to requisite statutory and regulatory approvals, including those from relevant authorities governing amalgamations.
