Raymond Ltd chairman and managing director Gautam Singhania's estranged wife Nawaz Modi Singhania has resigned as a director on the board, according to a statement by the company on Wednesday. Raymond Ltd has announced the resignation of Nawaz Modi Singhania as a director on the Board of the company.
Billionaire Gautam Singhania on Monday announced separation from wife Nawaz, saying the two have decided to pursue different paths. Singhania, 58, had married Nawaz Modi, daughter of solicitor Nadar Modi, in 1999. "This Diwali is not going to be the same as many in the past," Singhania, chairman and managing director of textiles-to-real estate conglomerate Raymond Ltd, said in social media posts.
Textiles and fabric manufacturer Raymond Ltd on Thursday said its shareholders have approved the reappointment of Gautam Hari Singhania as chairman & managing director for a term of five years effective from July 1, 2024, along with his proposed remuneration. "The shareholders of the company at their Annual General Meeting (AGM) held today (June 27) have approved the re-appointment of Singhania. "The AGM commenced at 3 pm and concluded at 4:05 pm," Raymond Ltd said in a regulatory filing.
Independent directors of Raymond Ltd on Friday said they are monitoring the situation arising out of the matrimonial dispute of company's Chairman and Managing Director Gautam Singhania to ensure it does not affect his capacity to manage the affairs and business of the firm. In a joint communication shared on BSE by the company, the independent directors also said they have decided to retain Berjis Desai, a senior independent legal counsel, who has no links with promoters or the company, for advising them.
Proxy advisory firm Institutional Investor Advisory Services (IiAS) has asked independent directors of Raymond Ltd to consider appointing an interim CEO and investigate the allegations of assault by its chairman and MD Gautam Singhania on his wife and daughter, and the use of company funds for personal benefit. In an open letter to the company's five independent directors, IiAS also suggested they ask Singhania and his estranged wife Nawaz Modi, also a board member, to take time off from their responsibilities as board members. The five independent directors to whom the letter was addressed are Mukeeta Jhaveri, Ashish Kapadia, Dinesh Lal, K Narsimha Murthy, and Shiv Surinder Kumar.
