The full read
Asia Pack Ltd has finalized a leadership transition. Manish Kumar Kothari is the new CEO, replacing Jitendra Purohit who stepped down due to ongoing severe illness. Kothari brings 14 years of experience in accounting and taxation to the role.
Results for the year ending March 31, 2026, show a net profit of ₹23.28 lakhs on total income of ₹97.10 lakhs. Profitability fell compared to the prior year, largely because the company lacked the boost from higher other income it enjoyed previously. For a business with a valuation of just ₹13 crore, the appointment of a finance-heavy executive is a clear move to ensure administrative continuity. The company's restricted investor base now has a finalized management structure and a baseline for the year's performance. It is a small firm, but the transition is complete.
