Baazar Style Retail Appoints Independent Director, Reconstitutes Committee, Designates New Chairman
Baazar Style Retail Limited reconstituted its Nomination and Remuneration Committee and appointed Mr. Harish Chander Khurana as an Independent Director for five years. Mr. Shreyans Surana was additionally designated Chairman. The company will withdraw two legal cases against Cupid Limited.
The reconstitution of the NRC and the appointment of an independent director are significant governance changes. The additional designation of the Chairman and the withdrawal of a substantial legal case also have material implications for the company's operations and stakeholder relations.
The announcement involves changes in management structure and the resolution of legal disputes, which are routine corporate actions. While the appointment of an independent director and the withdrawal of cases could be seen positively, they do not significantly alter the company's financial outlook or operational strategy in a way that warrants a positive sentiment.
Baazar Style Retail Limited announced the reconstitution of its Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) effective September 2, 2026, following an adjourned Board meeting held on the same date. The Board also approved the appointment of Mr. Harish Chander Khurana as an Additional Director in the category of Non-Executive Independent Director for a term of five years, subject to shareholder approval. Mr. Khurana, with over 35 years of banking experience, is not related to any existing director and meets independence criteria.
Furthermore, Mr. Shreyans Surana, the current Managing Director, has been additionally designated as the Chairman of the Company, effective September 2, 2026. He will continue to hold both positions. Consequently, Mr. Rohit Kedia will continue as Whole-Time Director.
In a separate development, the Board approved the withdrawal of two cases filed by the company against Cupid Limited & Ors. (T.S. 1020 of 2026 and T.S. 1015 of 2026) pending before the Civil Judge (Senior Division), Alipore Court. This decision is part of an amicable resolution process aimed at serving the commercial interests of the company and its stakeholders. The company had claimed ₹28,18,00,000 in one of the suits.
