She confirmed there are no other material reasons for her resignation. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee recommended the matter and the Board noted and approved it.

She began with a CS internship at Reliance Industries Limited, later joining its audit team, working on compliance checklists, board minutes, labour and environmental law, IT and POSH policy, and the RIL bonus issue. She then spent over three years at Quantify Capital, a stock broking and advisory firm, in technical analysis, options and derivatives, and risk management, and most recently served in the Company Secretarial and Legal function at Chase Bright Steel Limited.

The appointment is made under Section 203 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Regulation 6(1) of the SEBI LODR Regulations. The Board's outcome letter states the appointment is effective from September 25, 2026, while the annexure records it as effective from September 24, 2026.

What it means for investors

The Company Secretary and Compliance Officer is the company's link with the stock exchange and the officer responsible for statutory updates and corporate governance processes. This is a change in a key managerial position rather than a change in business operations or financials, and the role has been filled immediately.
