Board rejig approved
Dipna Pharmachem's board met on Monday, 10th August, 2026 and approved one appointment while taking note of two resignations, all effective the same date.
- Mr. Nirav Madhusudan Soni was appointed as an Additional Non-Executive and Non-Independent Director of the company with effect from 10th August, 2026. The update describes him as a dedicated professional with over four years of experience in marketing management, project management and administrative operations, and states that he is not related to any of the directors of the company.
- The board took note of the resignation of Mr. Jitendra Pradipbhai Parmar from the post of Non-Executive and Independent Director with effect from 10th August, 2026. His resignation letter cites personal reasons, saying he is not in a position to devote his time to the affairs of the company.
- The board also took note of the resignation of Mr. Manish Shrichand Bachani from the post of Non-Executive and Independent Director with effect from 10th August, 2026, again citing personal reasons and an inability to devote time to the company's affairs.
The company states that it has received confirmation from both resigning directors that there are no other material reasons for their resignation beyond those given in their resignation letters.
Committees reconstituted
All three committees were reconstituted with effect from 10th August, 2026, with the same three members.
- Audit Committee: Mr. Nirav Madhusudan Soni as Chairperson, with Mr. Keyur Shah (Managing Director) and Mrs. Dipna Keyur Shah as Members.
- Nomination and Remuneration Committee: Mr. Nirav Madhusudan Soni as Chairperson, with Mr. Keyur Shah and Mrs. Dipna Keyur Shah as Members.
- Stakeholders Relationship Committee: Mr. Nirav Madhusudan Soni as Chairperson, with Mr. Keyur Shah and Mrs. Dipna Keyur Shah as Members.
What stands out
- Both independent directors step down on the same date, and both the company and the directors state that the reasons are personal, with nothing else material cited.
- The chairperson of all three committees is now Mr. Soni, who is a Non-Executive and Non-Independent Director; the other two members are the Managing Director and another Non-Executive and Non-Independent Director.
- The board also gains a director with background in marketing, project management and administrative operations.
How to read this
Board and committee changes are routine governance disclosures and take effect immediately. The appointment and the resignations are dated the same day, so the composition of the board and its committees has changed in one step rather than gradually.
