What the board approved
- The board took on record the cessation of Mrs. Shilpa Tiwari (M. No. A59374) as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, with effect from the close of business hours of 17 October 2026.
- Mr. Ankit Singla (M. No. A69926) was appointed Company Secretary and Compliance Officer with effect from 21 October 2026.
- Key Managerial Persons were authorised to determine the materiality of any event, transaction or information, and to make the related disclosures to the stock exchanges.
The exit
The company placed on record Mrs. Shilpa Tiwari's resignation letter dated 10 October 2026. In it she states that she resigned due to personal reasons and confirms that there are no other material reasons for the resignation beyond those mentioned. Along with the post of Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, she also stepped down as a Key Managerial Person and Nodal Officer of the company, and as Secretary to all Board Committees. Her resignation takes effect from the close of business hours of 17 October 2026.
The replacement
Mr. Ankit Singla's appointment takes effect from 21 October 2026, so the two dates do not overlap. The update describes him as aged about 28 years and an Associate Member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India. It lists his work experience as dealing with various matters related to SEBI, the Companies Act, 2013, FEMA, RBI, IBBI and other regulatory authorities. The update states that he has no relationship with the directors of the company.
Who decides what is "material"
The board authorised three persons to judge whether an event or information is material and needs to be disclosed to the stock exchanges: Mr. Nitin Bhandari, Managing Director; Mr. Deepak Sharma, Chief Financial Officer; and Mr. Ankit Singla, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer. In simple terms, this is the internal filter that decides which company developments are important enough to be reported to the exchanges under the listing rules.
How a retail investor can read this
- A Company Secretary and Compliance Officer is the person responsible for the company's updates and compliance with securities rules. A change in that seat is a governance point to note.
- The resignation is attributed to personal reasons, and a named successor is in place with effect from 21 October 2026, so the transition appears planned rather than abrupt.
- The new appointee's stated experience is in regulatory and compliance matters, which is the core of this role.
- The board also fixed who within the company can decide materiality for disclosures, which is a procedural step rather than a change in the business.
