What the board decided

• Noted and taken on record the resignation of Ms. Lekha Raghavan as Chief Human Resource Officer (CHRO) and Senior Management Personnel, effective from the close of business hours on December 31, 2026, or such earlier date between November 30, 2026 and December 31, 2026 as may be mutually agreed between her and the Company.
• Approved the appointment of Mr. Ravi Singh as CHRO and Senior Management Personnel with effect from January 01, 2027, or such earlier date as may be determined by the Company upon the cessation of Ms. Raghavan as CHRO.
• Noted and taken on record the resignation of Ms. Nidhi Tanna as Company Secretary & Compliance Officer and Key Managerial Personnel, effective from the close of business hours on December 11, 2026, or such earlier date as may be mutually agreed between her and the Company.
• Approved the appointment of Ms. Priya Pakhare as Company Secretary & Compliance Officer and Key Managerial Personnel with effect from December 12, 2026, or such earlier date as may be determined upon the cessation of Ms. Tanna.

How the handover is planned

• Mr. Singh assumes the role of Designate CHRO with effect from November 05, 2026 and then transitions to CHRO once Ms. Raghavan ceases.
• The resignations are stated as being to pursue opportunities outside the Welspun Group.
• The Company Secretary change is timed back to back, with the outgoing officer's last day of December 11, 2026 and the incoming officer effective December 12, 2026.

The incoming executives

• Mr. Ravi Singh holds a Mechanical Engineering degree from Amravati University, a Post-Graduation in Business Management from Goa Institute of Management, and has pursued his MDP from IIM Bangalore. He has over 2 decades of experience, predominantly in strategic hiring and leadership advisory for domestic and cross border searches, with earlier roles at L&T, Reliance, ABC Consultants, Randstad, RGF, Odgers Berndtson and Executive Access. The update notes he has played an important role in strengthening talent acquisition practices and building talent capabilities across the Welspun Group.
• Ms. Priya Pakhare is a Fellow Member of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) with over 16 years of experience in corporate governance, regulatory compliance, secretarial practice, business restructuring and strategic transactions. She has been associated with the Welspun Group since 2009 and served as Company Secretary of Welspun Enterprises Limited from 2018 to 2022. Her profile cites a role in Apollo Global Management's USD 350 million investment in Welspun Corp Limited and infrastructure asset transactions aggregating approximately ₹6,000 crore.

How to read this

• Two senior roles, one of them a Key Managerial Personnel position, change hands. Both exits carry a stated reason and both have named successors with defined effective dates, staggered so that the incoming CHRO works alongside the outgoing one for a period.
• Ms. Pakhare is a returning insider, having earlier served as Company Secretary of the Company, which the update links to continuity in the compliance function.
• For a retail reader, the practical things to track are the actual cessation dates (they can move earlier if mutually agreed) and the formal transition of Mr. Singh from Designate CHRO to CHRO.
