Jyoti CNC Automation Limited has welcomed Prafulla P. Shenoy as an Independent Director for a five-year term, effective from January 19, 2026 to January 18, 2031. The appointment signals the company’s ongoing emphasis on robust governance and external oversight as it navigates its growth trajectory.
Prafulla P. Shenoy brings a distinguished 36-year career in development banking with IDBI (erstwhile DFI) and SIDBI, spanning resource management, treasury operations, and institutional finance. In her tenure, she headed the Treasury function and served as second in charge of the Institutional Finance vertical (Banks), ultimately retiring as General Manager of Treasury and Institutional Finance. After retirement, she continued as a consultant, participated in interview committees, and has been involved in coaching candidates for regulatory body exams, while also contributing to education and charitable initiatives.
Jyoti CNC Automation’s move underscores a strategic push to strengthen board-level governance with seasoned financial leadership. Shenoy’s deep exposure to treasury, corporate accounts, and regulatory environments is poised to add valuable non-executive perspectives on risk, capital allocation, and strategic oversight as the company continues to execute its ambitious manufacturing and automation agenda.
