Skills and talent development company NIIT Limited on Friday announced the expansion of its board with four new members, including promoters' children Udai S Pawar and Leher V Thadani.
The move marks succession planning by promoters with their children - Udai S Pawar and Leher V Thadani - on the board, even as they emphasised that the two new faces are not joining in a management capacity.
The company said the expansion of the board, including elevation of CEO Sapnesh Lalla to the board, is aimed at strengthening the organisation.
"They're (Udai and Leher) joining the board, not management. We've had that explicit articulation of the approach of our company, so it represents succession...But yes...We, as promoters, have to look at our own, should we say succession of personal entities as well," Rajendra S Pawar said in a virtual briefing.
