Sterling Tools Limited has announced a leadership transition, naming Amit Dhadda as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) with effect from 27 October 2026, following the resignation of Anish Agarwal who stepped down on 26 October 2026. The board’s action underscores a continuity-focused handover as the company moves to strengthen its financial governance under new leadership at the helm of the finance function.
Amit Dhadda is an internal appointment, currently serving as Vice President – Finance & Accounts, responsible for the overall finance function within Sterling Tools. A Chartered Accountant with over 25 years of experience across corporate finance, treasury management, SEBI listing compliance, FP&A, and audit, Dhadda brings a deep understanding of the company’s financial operations. His career has included stints with Minda Corporation Limited, One 97 Communications Limited (Paytm), Price Waterhouse LLP, and Deloitte India, equipping him with a broad perspective on finance, governance, and regulatory requirements.
Anish Agarwal’s resignation is cited as a voluntary move to devote more time to business development activities and his broader directorship responsibilities, effective from the close of business on 26 October 2026. The transition places Dhadda at the center of Sterling Tools’ efforts to maintain strong financial discipline and strategic oversight as the company navigates a competitive manufacturing landscape. Industry observers will be watching how this internal promotion translates into execution of the company’s growth plans and capital management priorities.
Sterling Tools Limited continues to position its finance leadership as a pillar of governance and strategic execution, with the CFO role central to sustaining momentum in the company’s fastener manufacturing business.
