Sula Vineyards Seeks Shareholder Approval for Director Appointment and Commission
Sula Vineyards is seeking shareholder approval for the appointment of Mr. Chaitanya Rathi as Non-Executive Non-Independent Director and a commission of ₹4,00,000 per annum for three financial years. Remote e-voting begins September 8, 2026, and ends October 7, 2026. Mr. Rathi has prior extensive experience with the company.
The appointment of a new director and the approval of their commission are significant for corporate governance and leadership continuity. These decisions can influence strategic direction and operational management, thus having a medium-term impact on the company's performance.
The announcement pertains to routine corporate governance procedures, including director appointment and remuneration, which are standard business practices. While the appointment of an experienced director is positive, the core of the announcement is procedural.
Sula Vineyards Limited has issued a Postal Ballot Notice dated 6th August, 2026, seeking shareholder approval for two special businesses. The first is the appointment of Mr. Chaitanya Rathi (DIN: 07705302) as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director, liable to retire by rotation. The second is the payment of an annual commission of ₹4,00,000 to Mr. Rathi for a period of three financial years, commencing from FY 26-27 on a pro-rata basis, FY 27-28, and FY 28-29. This commission may exceed statutory limits in case of inadequate profits.
The company has engaged NSDL for remote e-voting. The voting period commences on Tuesday, 8th September, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. IST and concludes on Wednesday, 7th October, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. IST. The cut-off date for determining eligible members is Friday, 4th September, 2026.
Mr. Chaitanya Rathi brings over 20 years of experience in building and investing in high-growth businesses, with significant prior experience at Sula Vineyards, including as COO during its IPO. His appointment is expected to strengthen the company's strategic direction and operational excellence.
The results of the postal ballot will be declared by Friday, 9th October, 2026, and will be available on the company's website and stock exchange websites.
