Seshasayee Paper and Boards Limited has named R J Ramesh as a Non-Executive Director, stepping in as a Nominee Director and taking a seat on the board from July 25, 2026. The company’s board approved the appointment at a meeting held on that date, with Ramesh currently serving as Deputy General Manager (IA/ISO/PP) at the Tamilnadu Industrial Investment Corporation Limited (TIIC) in Chennai. He is being brought in to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Kumar Jayant, IAS, and is nominated to the board by TIIC.
The move is framed as an appointment of an Additional Director in the capacity of a Nominee Director, and it is not liable to retire by rotation. The company will seek shareholder approval for the appointment via a postal ballot, a step the board has signaled as a continuation of governance arrangements and alignment with TIIC’s representation on the board.
R J Ramesh’ s background in IA/ISO/PP and his experience within a government-backed financial institution could bring an external governance perspective to Seshasayee Paper and Boards Limited. As the company tests the waters of board composition through a postal-ballot process, observers will be watching how this nomination influences strategy, oversight, and collaboration with TIIC as a key stakeholder.
The development underscores Seshasayee Paper and Boards Limited’s ongoing governance refresh, paired with TIIC’s role in shaping the company’s oversight framework. If shareholders approve the nomination, the board will gain an additional independent-facing lens as it steers through market and regulatory shifts.
