Shalby bids farewell to Independent Director Vijay Kishanlal Kedia amid work-pressure push

Shalby Limited is saying goodbye to one of its Independent Directors. Vijay Kishanlal Kedia has informed the company and the stock exchanges that he will resign from the Board as an Independent Director, with the resignation taking effect at the close of business hours on April 30, 2026. The move is attributed to increasing professional commitments and time constraints, a reminder that governance duties often compete with growing professional obligations for board members.

In a show of governance continuity, the Board has placed on record its appreciation for the valuable contributions and guidance Mr. Kedia provided during his tenure. His departure marks a notable shift in Shalby’s non-executive leadership, at a time when board dynamics and oversight remain a key focus for listed entities across the sector.

Annexure-A to the disclosure provides a snapshot of Mr. Kedia’s board footprints beyond Shalby. He also serves as a Non-Executive Director at Atul Auto Ltd, where he sits on the Stakeholder Relationship Committee. At Shalby Ltd, where he was also an Independent Director, the annexure indicates a Nil position on board committees. While his exit from Shalby closes one chapter, his presence on other boards underscores how independent directors often balance multiple governance roles across listed groups. As the company navigates this transition, the board will likely turn its attention to succession and continuity to ensure ongoing oversight and strategic steering.
