Mercury Ev-Tech Limited has announced a leadership move that signals a sharpened focus on governance and strategic oversight. In its board meeting on October 5, 2026, the company appointed Shreyan Jigneshkumar Patel as an Additional Director and, importantly, as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director. The appointment will come into effect from the date of the board meeting and is subject to shareholders’ approval, with Patel’s term set to retire by rotation alongside other directors.
Patel brings a blend of entrepreneurship flair and technical insight to the board. The company notes his academic credentials—including an Honorary Doctorate in Entrepreneurship, a BCA in AI/ML, and a Machine Learning Certification from IIT Mumbai—and highlights more than three years of experience spanning manufacturing Ayurvedic medicines, natural powders, and cosmetics, as well as developing commercial EV chargers and advanced water ionizers. His profile emphasizes expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and business management, alongside strategic operations and manufacturing competencies that could support Mercury Ev-Tech’s growth in the EV ecosystem.
The disclosure also confirms the customary governance safeguards: Patel has no disclosed relationships with other directors, and he is affirmed as eligible and not debarred by SEBI or other authorities from holding the director’s office. The company notes Patel holds no shareholding in Mercury Ev-Tech at present. As an Additional and Non-Executive Director, his role will be aligned with board-level oversight rather than day-to-day operations, signaling the board’s intent to augment strategic direction while preserving a clear executive-management boundary.
Together, the appointment underscores Mercury Ev-Tech’s commitment to strengthening its leadership bench as it expands its footprint in the EV tech and related manufacturing space, while keeping governance and rotation principles intact.
