Additional Director appointed

Ms. Avantika Himalay Dassani appointed as Additional Non-Executive Non-Independent Director, to hold office up to the next General Meeting

A board meeting was held on 19th October, 2026, and the company informed the exchanges of what was considered and approved there. Three items came out of it: a new Company Secretary, a resignation taken on record, and one more director on the board.

Who is the new Company Secretary

• Mr. Mukesh Agarwal has been appointed Company Secretary and Compliance Officer of the Company with effect from 19th October, 2026.
• He has also been designated as Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) with the same effective date.
• The update describes him as a qualified Company Secretary holding experience in the field of secretarial compliances, including LODR compliances.
• The appointment was based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Why the post was open

• The resignation of CS Nidhi Luharuka was taken on record with effect from 17th October, 2026.
• The new appointment dates from 19th October, 2026, so the change of guard at the compliance desk happened within a couple of days.

What to note: the Company Secretary is the person who signs off on much of a listed company's regulatory paperwork and is one of the officers counted as KMP. A gap in that seat is something exchanges and investors watch, so a replacement being named in the same board meeting is a routine but relevant housekeeping step.

New director on the board

• Ms. Avantika Himalay Dassani has been appointed as an Additional Non-Executive and Non-Independent Director with effect from 19th October, 2026.
• She will hold office up to the next General Meeting, which is the normal tenure for an additional director; shareholders will then be asked to regularise the appointment.
• The update states she is related to Himalay Dassani, the Managing Director of the Company.
• She is a non-executive, non-independent director, which means she is on the board in a supervisory capacity rather than a day-to-day management role, and is not classified as independent.

What this means for a retail reader

• This is a governance and personnel update, not an earnings, order or capital event. No money, shares or financial numbers are involved.
• The compliance officer seat, which was vacant after the resignation, has been filled.
• The board strength has gone up by one, but through a non-executive, non-independent seat linked to the current Managing Director, so the change does not alter who runs the company day to day.
• Promoter-family or related-party presence on boards is common in Indian listed companies; what matters over time is how independently the board functions, which a reader can track through later disclosures.
