Change at the board

• The Board of Directors, at its meeting on October 30, 2026, approved the appointment of Mr. Suresh Eshwara Prabhala (DIN: 02130163) as an Additional Director, designated as an Independent Director.
• The appointment was made on the recommendation of the Nomination, Remuneration and Compensation Committee (NRCC).
• Term of appointment: five years effective from October 30, 2026. He is not liable to retire by rotation.
• The appointment is subject to the approval of shareholders through a postal ballot by way of a special resolution.
• Mr. Prabhala is not related to any Director or Key Managerial Personnel of the Company.

Who is the new director

• 28 years of experience in the Indian financial services industry, with the last 22 years focused on leading and managing private equity investments in India.
• Currently CIO at 2380 Capital, a newly established Alternative Investment Fund.
• Previously General Partner and Co-Founder of ADV Partners Capital Management, an Asia-focused private equity firm with total assets under management of US$ 1.25 billion.
• Before co-founding ADV in 2009, he set up the India business as Managing Director and Head of India for Mount Kellett Capital Management, a global private equity fund with US$ 8 billion under management, and was a member of its Global Investment Committee.
• Immediately prior to that, Executive Director and India head for Principal Investments at JPMorgan, and earlier a credit analyst at CRISIL and part of Arthur Andersen's Corporate Finance team.
• MBA from IIM Calcutta and a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Delhi College of Engineering.

What it means for investors

• An independent director with a long private equity and financial services background joins the board, which is relevant to board oversight and how capital is allocated.
• The term is stated as five years from October 30, 2026, but the appointment becomes effective in that form once shareholders approve it by special resolution through postal ballot; the outcome of that vote is the next checkpoint.
• An independent director who is not liable to retire by rotation changes how the board's rotation works, and independent directors are central to board committees such as the audit and nomination committees.
• The same board meeting also approved the company's unaudited financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, which are part of this update.
