An independent director has no business or family tie to the company, its promoters or its managers beyond the seat. 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.

    Against Sundaram Mutual Fund
    • Sundaram Mutual FundSathiababu K. Kallada, 61, served as Senior Vice President Product Development and Quality at Aarti Industries Limited, a promoter group company. He has over 36 years of experience in the chemicals industry. He was initially appointed to this board as non-executive non-independent director on 23 November 2020 and was redesignated and appointed as executive director from 1 May 2022. He attended all five board meetings held in FY23. We note that the board comprises of six executive directors, which is disproportionate to the size and scale of the company. Therefore, we do not support his reappointment.

    Against Sundaram Mutual Fund
    • Sundaram Mutual FundThe company proposes to reappoint Gokhale & Sathe for a second term of five years, which will complete their overall tenure of ten years as per regulations. The company has not disclosed the proposed audit fee, which is a regulatory requirement. The audit fees for FY22 and FY23 stood at Rs. 0.95 mn and Rs. 1.10 mn respectively. We expect the company to fix the audit fee for FY24 at similar levels. However, Gokhale & Sathe have been associated as the statutory auditors of Aarti Industries Limited and its group companies for over fifteen years: Valiant Organics Limited is part of the same promoter group. We raise concerns over auditor independence and objectivity given the long and continued association with the promoter group. Therefore, we are unable to support Gokhale & Sathe’s reappointment as statutory auditors.

He received Rs. 4.5 mn in FY23 (including fair value of stock options granted in FY23). proposes to revise his fixed remuneration from Rs. 3.0 mn to Rs. 3.3 mn for FY24. We estimate his FY24 remuneration at Rs. 5.0 mn (including stock options), which is reasonable. We raise concern that the company has not disclosed the quantum of stock options that he may receive. His remuneration from Aarti Industries Limited has not been provided, and therefore his aggregate compensation across both roles is unclear. Further, we raise concern that the board comprises of six executive directors, which is disproportionate to the size and scale of the company. We do not support the revision.
