Listed boards counts the boards of listed companies the director sits on, this one included, and "as independent" how many of those seats are independent ones. Committee seats are audit and stakeholder committee seats across those companies. Months as independent is filed for independent directors only, whose terms the rules cap. Disqualified is the company's own mark that a director may not serve under company law.

    • Axis Mutual Fund, Bank of India Mutual FundChandra Kishore Thakur, 64, is Global Chief Executive Officer and Manager of the Company. He has been with the company since 2018. The company proposes to reappoint him as Manager for two years from 1 September 2025. While we support Chandra Kishore Thakur’s reappointment as Manager, we do not support the resolution because the terms of his proposed remuneration are unclear. We are unable to estimate the level of his proposed remuneration because there is no clarity on the stock option grants and variable pay that he is likely to receive during the proposed term. We expect companies to disclose a maximum cap on the proposed remuneration, which would enable us to make a more informed decision with respect to the proposed remuneration. As good practice, we recommend companies build malus and clawback clauses into remuneration agreements for executive directors.

    • Angel One Mutual FundNon-Disclosure of Exercise Price. Governance Concern: Nomination & Remuneration Committee has absolute discretion to determine the Exercise Price; this does not allow the shareholders to estimate the overall cost and the likely benefit that may arise from the grant of stock options.
    • Axis Mutual Fund, Bank of India Mutual FundUnder the plan, options convertible upto ~1.9 mn equity shares will be issued. The dilution under the plan will be ~0.8% on the expanded capital base (as on 31 March 2025). The amended scheme does not provide clarity with respect to exercise price and vesting criteria – it allows the NRC the flexibility to decide. In the absence of clarity, we are unable to evaluate if the scheme contours align with investor interest. We do not favour schemes where there is no clarity on exercise price, or the exercise price is at a significant discount (>20%) to market price, unless the scheme has performance-based vesting conditions with clearly defined parameters and targets. Given these reasons, we do not support the resolution.
    • Bandhan Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Groww Mutual Fund, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual FundNon-Compliant under SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations: Non-Disclosure of Exercise Price as per SEBI Regulations. Governance Concern: NRC has absolute discretion to determine the Exercise Price; this does not allow the shareholders to estimate the overall cost and the likely benefit that may arise from the grant of Stock Options.
    • HDFC Mutual FundLack of clarity on the pricing of the ESOPS. We do not support the resolution.
    • Kotak Mahindra Mutual FundUnder the plan, options convertible upto ~1.9 mn equity shares will be issued. The dilution under the plan will be ~0.8% on the expanded capital base (as on 31 March 2025). The amended scheme does not provide clarity with respect to exercise price and vesting criteria it allows the NRC the flexibility to decide. In the absence of clarity, we are unable to evaluate if the scheme contours align with investor interest. We do not favour schemes where there is no clarity on exercise price. Given these reasons, we do not support the resolution.

  • To appoint Mr. Saurabh Agarwal (DIN: 09206293), Non- Executive Director of the Company, who retires by rotation as a Director
    Against SBI Mutual Fund
    • SBI Mutual FundSaurabh Agarwal, 50, is AVP Planning and Strategy at Reliance Industries Limited. He has attended all six board meetings held in FY24. He is liable to retire by rotation. We observe that there are 8 Board of Directors (BODs), out of which 4 are classified as independent directors and out of which 2 ID are effectively non independent, due to business linkages with the company. Currently, effective independence is assessed at 25%. We wish to clarify that we do not have any doubt about the competency of the directors. Our only concern is <50% independence on the board. Since the board is not 50% independent, we do not favour the resolution.

  • Appointment of Mr. Rahul Dutt (DIN: 08872616) as an Independent Director of the Company
    Against Bank of India Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, SBI Mutual Fund, Sundaram Mutual Fund
    • Bank of India Mutual Fund, Sundaram Mutual FundRahul Dutt, 48, is Partner at Khaitan & Co in the Mergers & Acquisition and Private Equity Practice Group. Prior to this, he served as Senior Counsel at Reliance Industries till September 2015. He serves an independent director on the boards of five listed companies (including Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited). Given their full-time responsibilities, regulations allow whole-time directors of listed companies to be independent directors on a maximum of three listed companies. We believe that as Partner of Khaitan & Co, his responsibilities are equivalent to a whole-time directorship. Therefore, his high number of directorships on listed companies is not in keeping with the spirit of the regulation. Further, his other directorships include Reliance Group companies such as Alok Industries Ltd, Den Networks Ltd and Reliance Industrial Infrastructure Limited. We will consider his overall association with the Reliance Group for his tenure. Public sources indicate that Khaitan & Co was legal counsel to Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited in the past, with the recent most association as advisor for QIP raise in December 2023. Moreover, Khaitan & Co was legal counsel to Reliance New Energy Solar Limited on acquisition of stake in Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy Limited. Given the conflict of interest, we also do not support his appointment. The company must consider appointing him as Non-Executive Non-Independent Director.
