Omkar Speciality Chemicals Limited announced a governance refresh after its board meeting on October 15, 2026, naming Shashi Kala Dhabriya as an Additional Non-Executive Independent Director for a five-year term, from October 15, 2026 to October 14, 2031, subject to member approval. At the same time, the company acknowledged the resignation of Muskaan Pherwani as an Additional Non-Executive Independent Director, effective at the close of business on October 13, 2026. The moves underscore Omkar’s ongoing effort to recalibrate its board as it pursues restructuring and growth.
Shashi Kala Dhabriya’s appointment comes on the nomination and remuneration committee’s recommendation and reflects the board’s push to strengthen independent oversight. Her profile in the annexure describes her as an Indian national with a Master of Arts in History and notes that she is currently a homemaker, with no apparent family ties to other directors or key management. The company also states she is not debarred by SEBI or other authorities and will bring independent judgment to governance discussions.
Muskaan Pherwani’s resignation letter cites personal and professional commitments that would prevent her from dedicating the time required during a period of restructuring and growth. She confirms there are no other material reasons and says she will assist with the transition, including returning confidential materials and facilitating filings and handovers. She does not hold directorships in listed entities at present.
Taken together, the changes reflect a deliberate refresh of Omkar’s board—combining newly appointed independent minds with seasoned governance to steer the company through its next phase. The market will be watching how this evolving composition translates into strategic oversight as Omkar advances its growth plans.
