Updater Services Limited: CHRO Samriti Malhotra Resigns; HR Function Under Executive Director
Updater Services Limited announces that CHRO Samriti Malhotra has resigned, effective September 07, 2026. Executive Director Jigyasa Sarma will now directly oversee the HR function. This change is part of a strategy to flatten the organizational structure.
A change in a key senior management position like CHRO, coupled with a restructuring of the HR function, can have a medium-term impact on employee morale, talent management strategies, and the execution of HR policies. The direct involvement of the Executive Director may bring a new strategic direction.
The resignation of a CHRO and the subsequent restructuring of the HR function under an Executive Director is a significant organizational change. While the company expresses appreciation for the departing executive, the overall impact on business operations remains neutral as the functions will continue.
Updater Services Limited (UDS) has announced a change in its senior management structure. In a move to flatten the organizational structure and ensure direct board attention to the HR function and People agenda, Ms. Jigyasa Sarma, Executive Director, will assume direct charge of the HR Function.
As a consequence of this strategic decision, Ms. Samriti Malhotra, the Company's Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), has decided to pursue opportunities outside the UDS Group. Her resignation is effective from the close of business on September 07, 2026.
The company has placed on record its appreciation for Ms. Malhotra's service and significant contributions, wishing her the best for her future endeavors. Following this change, the Head of HR position will no longer be considered a member of Senior Management, effective from September 07, 2026.
