The company also disclosed that she is not debarred by any SEBI order or any other authority.

The intimation was signed by Mr. Mahendra Kumar Jagdeesh Patel, Director of Kanungo Financiers Limited.

Summary of the company secretary change

Context: resignation of the earlier company secretary

The company’s disclosure comes after Kanungo Financiers earlier announced that Ms. Kanak Sureshkumar Rathi resigned from the post of Company Secretary and Compliance Officer. The resignation was stated to be effective October 10, 2025.

In the same set of disclosures around compliance and key roles, the company also indicated that it was not able to find a suitable person for the position of Internal Auditor and said it was in the process of appointing one. It further stated it was unable to find a suitable candidate for the position of CFO and that it would appoint a CFO and comply with the requirement as early as possible.

Board and leadership: who runs the company

The company’s executive leadership details provided include Chirag Kirtikumar Shah as Chairman, Managing Director and CFO since 2018. Mahendra Kumar Jagdeesh Patel is shown as Executive Director since 2025. The company also listed independent director roles including Dimple Alkeshkumar Shah (Non-Executive Independent Director since 2021) and Nikita Hiren Patel (Additional Non-Executive Independent Director since 2025).

Separately, the company disclosed that Mahendra Kumar Jagdeesh Patel was appointed Additional Executive Director effective August 21, 2025, subject to shareholder approval.

Another board change: independent director resignation

Kanungo Financiers also reported a resignation at the board level. Mr. Panchal Nrupesh Kirtikumar resigned as Non-Executive and Independent Director effective August 7, 2025. The stated reason for the resignation was “pre-occupancy.”

The company linked this board change with its results communication for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, indicating that governance updates and financial reporting were being disclosed together.

Financial snapshot: Q1 results disclosed

Kanungo Financiers, described as a single-segment financial services company, announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025. For Q1 FY2025-26, it reported total income of INR 0.4825 crore and profit of INR 0.0373 crore. Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter stood at INR 0.08.

The company also disclosed that finance costs were the largest expense at INR 0.3426 crore for the quarter. Its statutory auditors issued an unmodified conclusion after conducting a limited review of the Q1 results.

Share price reference provided in the disclosure set

The material also included a share price reference for Kanungo Financiers. It stated that as on August 22, 2025 at 03:53 PM IST, the share price was INR 9.53, and that it was down by 0.62% based on the previous closing price of INR 9.14.

This price reference was presented alongside corporate updates, although the company’s appointment filing itself focused on governance and compliance disclosures.

Key dates at a glance

Why the appointment matters for compliance and disclosures

A whole-time Company Secretary role is central to listed-company compliance, including board processes, statutory filings, and exchange communication. Kanungo Financiers explicitly linked its filing to Regulation 30 of SEBI LODR, which is used for timely disclosure of material events. By documenting membership details, experience, and a “not debarred” confirmation, the company addressed standard investor and regulator checks that often accompany such appointments.

The broader context in the company’s disclosures also points to ongoing attention to key control functions. The earlier note about difficulty in appointing an Internal Auditor and a CFO highlights the importance of filling compliance-linked roles on time, especially for a listed entity that is periodically reporting financial results and board changes.

Conclusion and next milestone to track

Kanungo Financiers has appointed Ms. Shruti Mittal as Whole-time Company Secretary from June 4, 2026 and filed the update with BSE under SEBI LODR disclosure requirements. The appointment follows the resignation of the earlier company secretary, effective October 10, 2025, and comes amid other changes in board composition.

The next confirmed milestone in the company’s calendar is the board meeting scheduled for May 29, 2026 to consider and approve audited financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2026, where the board’s confirmation of the company secretary appointment is expected to be finalised as disclosed.
