SML Mahindra Limited: Dr. Venkataraman Srinivas to step down as ED & CEO on June 30
Dr. Venkataraman Srinivas will resign as Executive Director & CEO of SML Mahindra Limited on June 30, 2026, due to a new role within Mahindra Group. Executive Chairman Mr. Vinod Kumar Sahay will take additional responsibilities until a new CEO is appointed.
The cessation of an Executive Director and CEO is a material event for the company's leadership and strategic direction. The appointment of an interim leader mitigates immediate disruption, but the eventual appointment of a new CEO will be key.
The departure of a key executive is a significant event but is framed as a transition within the group, with interim responsibilities assigned. The impact is neutral as it's a planned transition and not due to performance issues.
SML Mahindra Limited announced that the Board of Directors, following the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, has approved the cessation of Dr. Venkataraman Srinivas as Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer of the Company. His cessation will be effective from the close of business on June 30, 2026.
Dr. Srinivas is transitioning to a new role within the Mahindra Group. Consequently, he will also cease to be a Director and Key Managerial Personnel of the Company under the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI Listing Regulations from the same date.
In the interim, Mr. Vinod Kumar Sahay, the current Executive Chairman, will assume additional responsibilities. He will manage these duties starting from July 1, 2026, until a new CEO is appointed. The Board meeting where these decisions were made commenced at 7:45 PM and concluded at 7:55 PM on June 10, 2026. The company has also updated its website with this information.
