The full read
Balu Forge Industries is searching for a new finance chief after CFO Amit Ashok Todkari resigned on May 25 for personal reasons. The company moved quickly to name Sandeep Singh Chadha as interim CFO, effective May 26. Chadha brings five years of finance experience to the role. The timing of this departure is sensitive. Balu Forge secured a major NATO ammunition contract in April, and the loss of a key financial officer during such a high-stakes growth phase introduces execution risk. While the company claims the search for a permanent successor is underway, the sudden leadership change leaves an open question regarding financial oversight. The next test is how efficiently the company manages this transition while scaling its operations to meet the new contract requirements.
