- The Board noted and approved a strategic initiative to actively explore opportunities relating to Artificial Intelligence, AI-enabled products, and AI implementation across all business verticals of the company.
- The management has been authorised to undertake further evaluation and development of such opportunities. This is an exploration and authorisation step, not a completed investment or a signed contract.

Proposed subsidiary and a director nomination
- In connection with the proposed acquisition of Brham Well-Being and Lifestyle Corporation Private Limited (formerly known as Brahm Lifestyle Products Private Limited) as a subsidiary of the company, the Board proposed the appointment of Ms. Neha Tikam, an Independent Director of the company, as a Director on the Board of that proposed subsidiary.
