He practices law in the areas of corporate law, dispute resolution, M&A, private equity and insolvency & restructuring. He has expertise in banking and financial services. He has been on the board of Deepak Fertilisers & Petrochemicals Corporation Limited as Independent Director since 20 December 2021. He attended 86% (six out of seven) of board meetings held in FY24. While he is well-qualified, we note that as per related party disclosures, the company has been paying legal expenses to Juris Corp since FY22 (Rs. 0.3 mn in FY22, Rs. 0.3 mn in FY23 and Rs. 0.2 mn in FY24). Given the business relationship and potential conflict of interest, we do not support his reappointment as Independent Director. Further, shareholder approval for his reappointment should have been sought on or before the completion of his first term as Independent Director.
