Board approves two additional independent directors
Aris International Ltd informed the exchanges that its Board of Directors, at its meeting held on Friday, 16th October, 2026, considered and approved the appointment of two Additional Non-Executive Independent Directors. The appointments are based on the recommendations of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and are subject to the approval of the Members of the Company.
Who has been appointed
- Ms. Hemant Kumar (DIN: 11599649) as an Additional Non-Executive Independent Director of the Company, for a period of 5 (Five) years commencing from 16th October, 2026 up to 15th October, 2031, subject to the approval of the Members of the Company.
- Mr. Kunal Khaitan (DIN: 11186134) as an Additional Non-Executive Independent Director of the Company, for a period of 5 (Five) years commencing from 16th October, 2026 up to 15th October, 2031, subject to the approval of the Members of the Company.
What the update says about the two appointees
- Ms. Hemant Kumar is described as a corporate professional with exposure to company law, governance and compliance matters. She has qualified the Online Proficiency Self-Assessment Test conducted for the Independent Director's Database. She has previously served on the Board of Raigarh Trading Co. Limited. Her other directorships and committee positions are in Colab Platforms Limited, as Chairperson of the Audit Committee, Chairperson of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and Member of the Stakeholders Relationship Committee.
- Mr. Kunal Khaitan is described as a motivated and dedicated individual with a keen interest in law, corporate governance, legal compliance and organizational development. His directorships and committee positions are in Central Cables Limited, as Member of the Audit Committee, Member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and Member of the Stakeholders Relationship Committee.
- For both, the disclosure of relationships between directors is stated as Not Applicable, and the update affirms that neither is debarred from holding the office of Director by virtue of any order of SEBI or any other such authority. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors have also confirmed the same.
In simple terms
An independent director is a board member who is not part of the company's day-to-day management and is meant to bring an outside, objective view to board decisions. Because these appointments are as Additional Directors, they take effect from 16th October, 2026, and the Members of the Company still have to approve them for the appointments to continue. The tenure approved is 5 (Five) years, up to 15th October, 2031. These two appointments add two independent directors to the Board.
How this can be read
This is a change in management and board composition. The update sets out the terms of the appointments, the appointees' profiles, their other directorships and committee positions, and their affirmation of not being debarred. The appointments are subject to the approval of the Members of the Company.
The Board Meeting commenced at 03:45 p.m. and concluded at 04:15 p.m.
