Asian Hotels (East) Limited has reappointed Sandipan Chakravortty as a Non-Executive Independent Director for a second five-year term, with the new tenure effective from 10 August 2026. The move was approved at the company’s 19th Annual General Meeting held on 27 August 2026, signaling a vote of confidence in his continued oversight of the board.
Chakravortty will continue in the role as a Non-Executive Director, even as he has crossed the age threshold of 75. The company confirmed that he satisfies the independence criteria laid out under the Companies Act, 2013 and the Listing Regulations, and that he is not debarred from holding office by SEBI or any other authority. The decision underscores governance continuity at a time when board stability is widely viewed as a strength for listed hospitality players.
The disclosure notes the rationale for the change as a reappointment for a second term and reiterates the five-year duration of the term. While the company did not list additional biographical details, the action reflects a broader emphasis on experienced, independent oversight within Asian Hotels (East)’s leadership slate, including its strategic oversight of Hyatt Regency Kolkata Hotel operations.
