E2E Networks braces for board refresh as Shrimati Ambastha resigns; L&T nominates Krishnan Mahesh as successor

E2E Networks Limited is navigating a board refresh as it confirms the resignation of Shrimati Ambastha, a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director nominated by Larsen & Toubro Limited. The company says the resignation, due to other professional commitments, is effective from October 12, 2026, with the notice received on the same day. The development signals a reshaping of the board’s external governance profile at a time when strategic guidance from independent and nominating partners remains crucial for the company’s blue-sky ambitions in the digital infrastructure space.

In a parallel move, Larsen & Toubro Limited has nominated Krishnan Mahesh as its Nominee Director to fill the seat left by Ms. Ambastha. The proposed appointment will be considered by the Board at its forthcoming meeting, following the nomination and remuneration committee’s guidance. The company pledged to disclose the outcome to the stock exchanges in due course, underscoring a process that is as much about continuity as it is about evolution in board representation.

The shift highlights the ongoing involvement of external sponsors in E2E Networks’ governance, reflecting the broader industry practice of aligning board strength with strategic priorities and oversight needs. While the exact implications for board dynamics will unfold after the forthcoming board decision, the arrival of a new nominee director from L&T could influence conversations around governance, risk, and growth as the company steers its technology and network offerings through a competitive market landscape.
