In a move aimed at reinforcing leadership continuity, Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited has informed the market that its Board, acting on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, has approved fixating the term of Shiju Jacob Kallarakal as Executive Director for a five-year period from July 28, 2026, to July 27, 2031, subject to ratification by the members at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
The company’s note highlights that Shiju Jacob Kallarakal has been an integral part of the organization since its inception in 2001, bringing more than two decades of hands-on experience in the solid waste management sector.

In this role, he is entrusted with strengthening the company’s enterprise risk management framework, driving operational efficiency through technology adoption—such as GPS/RFID-enabled fleet tracking and geo-fencing systems—and steering strategic execution across day-to-day operations.
The disclosure also notes a promoter connection within the leadership circle, stating that Shiju Jacob Kallarakal is related to promoter Jose Jacob Kallarakal, underscoring the internal continuity of governance alongside the formal term extension. This move aligns with Antony Waste Handling Cell’s broader emphasis on risk governance and technology-enabled operations as it expands its footprint across multiple states.
