Metro Brands Limited is overhauling its leadership slate as it moves to refresh governance ahead of a pivotal growth phase. In the board meeting held on August 4, 2026, the company noted the completion of the second five-year term for independent director Arvind Kumar Singhal, who will cease to be an independent director after the close of business on August 10, 2026. To fill the evolving needs of the board, the NRC Committee recommended and the board approved the appointment of Sonny Iqbal as an Additional Director in the capacity of Non-Executive Independent Director, effective August 5, 2026, for a five-year term, subject to shareholder approval at the forthcoming AGM. Separately, Farah Malik Bhanji, who has steered Metro Brands as Managing Director, is set for a renewed five-year term starting April 1, 2027, also contingent on shareholder consent at the AGM.
