Zota Health Care Limited has issued a response to Institutional Investor Advisory Services (IiAS) regarding their voting recommendations against certain resolutions to be passed at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 28, 2026. The proxy advisory firm recommended voting against the re-appointment of Mr. Moxesh Ketanbhai Zota as Managing Director, the approval of remuneration for Non-Executive Chairman Mr. Ketankumar Chandulal Zota, and the approval of related party transactions concerning director remuneration and transactions with subsidiary Everyday Herbal Beauty Care Limited (EHBCL).
In response, the Company clarified that the Promoter Directors, including Mr. Moxesh Ketanbhai Zota and Mr. Ketankumar Chandulal Zota, possess over 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector. The remuneration structure for these directors has been fixed within an upper cap of ₹12.00 crores in aggregate until the end of FY2030, considering the company's growth, industry standards, and peer company packages. The company highlighted that its consolidated revenue grew by 83.86% YoY in FY26 and 62% YoY in FY25, with director remuneration representing a small proportion of the turnover.
Regarding the related party transaction with EHBCL, which is a subsidiary engaged in manufacturing and retail of cosmetic and ayurvedic products, Zota Health Care explained that EHBCL requires financial assistance for its operations and working capital. Zota, as the majority shareholder, is providing this support, along with supply chain management and arrangements for sale and purchase of goods and services, which is considered a commercially appropriate decision in the interest of both EHBCL and Zota's overall revenue generation. The company also noted that its board has a balanced composition of executive, independent, and non-executive directors.
