Effective Date: November 9, 2026
Board Meeting Date: October 23, 2026
Approval Condition: Subject to Members' approval at the next general meeting or within three months, whichever is earlier

The Board of Directors, at its meeting held on Friday, October 23, 2026, considered and approved the appointment of Mr. Rakesh Chaturvedi as an Additional Director of the Company in the category of Whole-Time Director.
The appointment takes effect from November 9, 2026.
The decision was taken on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
The appointment is subject to approval of the Members at the next general meeting, or within a period of three months from the date of his appointment, whichever is earlier.

Mr. Rakesh Chaturvedi will continue as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company in addition to being a Whole-Time Director on the Board.
In other words, the finance head now also sits on the Board as a full-time executive director.

Described in the update as a senior finance and risk executive with 30 years of leadership experience across diversified corporate sectors, including media and technology.
As Chief Financial Officer, he leads the enterprise-wide financial strategy, corporate governance, treasury, liquidity management and financial control frameworks.
Prior to his current role, he served as Executive Vice President – Risk, Internal Audit and Financial Controls at Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited, and as Chief Financial Officer & Head of Regulatory Affairs at India Webportal Private Limited (India.com).
Over his career he has managed financial operations including strategic financial planning, risk governance, regulatory compliance, capital allocation, and complex mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
He holds dual master's degrees in commerce and business administration, along with a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) and a Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Finance.

There is no relationship between directors in this appointment, as recorded in the disclosure.
Mr. Rakesh Chaturvedi is not debarred from holding the office of Director by virtue of any SEBI Order or any such authority.
The Board Meeting commenced at 4:00 p.m. and concluded at 6:30 p.m.

This is a management and board-level change: a sitting Chief Financial Officer has been given a Whole-Time Director seat, so the same person now carries both an executive and a board role.
The appointment is not final on its own — it needs Member approval at the next general meeting, or within three months from the date of appointment, whichever is earlier.
For a retail investor, the useful takeaways are the effective date of November 9, 2026, the dual role, and the professional background summarised in the update.
