The full read
Borosil announced a surprise leadership change. Shreevar Kheruka, who held the combined MD/CEO role, is now only MD, effectively ceding day-to-day control to Rituraj Sharma, a two-decade insider. The move was not telegraphed in recent filings. For a small-cap with a ₹2,731 crore market cap, such a change is material. Internal promotion suggests continuity, but the separation of roles could presage a governance upgrade or a shift in strategy. The open question is whether this is a planned transition or a response to performance pressures.
