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.

    • Angel One Mutual FundExercise Price not disclosed as required under law. Governance Concern: Potential maximum benefit that may be granted to a single employee appears to be excessive.
    • Axis Mutual Fund, Bandhan Mutual Fund, Edelweiss Mutual Fund, Groww Mutual Fund, Helios Mutual Fund, Navi Mutual FundNon-Compliant with SEBI (SBEB & SE) Regulations 2021: Exercise Price not disclosed as required under law. Governance Concern: Potential maximum benefit that may be granted to a single employee appears to be excessive.
    • Bank of India Mutual Fund, Invesco Mutual Fund, Jio BlackRock Mutual Fund, SBI Mutual FundThe company seeks shareholder approval for the amendment and ratification of ‘The Leela Employee Stock Option Scheme 2024’. The pool size under the scheme is 6,679,158 options, representing ~2.0% of the paid-up share capital as on 31 December 2025. The vesting of options is time-based and subject to continued employment. The options granted would vest after expiry of minimum of one year and not later than maximum of five years. The exercise price shall be determined by the NRC and specified in the grant letter or the relevant ESOP document. We do not favour schemes where the exercise price is at a significant discount (>20%) to the market price. ESOPs are ‘pay at risk’ options that employees accept at the time of grant, which is protected if the ESOPs are issued at significant discount to market price. If the stock options are granted at a significant discount, there is misalignment between the interests of investors and employees. In the absence of clarity on exercise price, we do not support the resolution.
    • Baroda BNP Paribas Mutual FundThe company seeks approval for amendment and ratification in ESOP Scheme of the Company and grant of stock options, under which upto 66,79,158 stock options may be granted. This will lead to a dilution of ~1.96% due to the proposed scheme. The units may be granted at a discount to the market price, since it is only disclosed that the exercise price would be greater than face value. However, there is no clarity on the maximum discount that may be granted. In the absence of objective disclosures regarding the exercise price, we do not support the resolution
    • HDFC Mutual FundLack of clarity on the pricing of ESOPs. We do not support the resolution.
    • ICICI Prudential Mutual FundExercise Price not disclosed as required under law. Potential Significant Benefit may arise to a single Employee and hence AMC had voted against the resolution.
    • Kotak Mahindra Mutual FundThe Company is seeking shareholders approval for the ratification and amendment of The Leela Employee Stock Option Scheme 2024 ( Scheme ) of the Company. The Company has not made adequate disclosures regarding the Exercise price or pricing formula. The NRC will have full discretion to decide on the exercise price which is a regulatory requirement. The Company has also stated that, the number of options to be granted and the maximum number of options that can be granted to each identified Employee shall be decided by the NRC. Based on the above reasons, we do not support the resolution.
    • Motilal Oswal Mutual FundExercise Price not disclosed as required under law. Potential Significant Benefit may arise to a single Employee.
    • Nippon India Mutual FundGovernance Concern: Potential maximum benefit that may be granted to a single employee appears to be excessive.
