Avance appoints Santosh Hambare as MD & CFO, fills vacancy after resignation

Tipsheet Editorial — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 16:30:52 GMT

Hambare takes dual role, replacing former MD Latesh Poojary as NED and filling CFO gap left by Vijay Purohit's exit. Board also adds Dipak Gaikwad as independent director.

What’s new

Santosh Hambare appointed MD & CFO effective immediately, subject to shareholder approval.
Former MD Latesh Poojary redesignated as Non-Executive Director.
Dipak Gaikwad inducted as additional Independent Director.

Why it matters

The appointment resolves the uncertainty from CFO Vijay Purohit's resignation three weeks ago. The dual MD/CFO role suggests a lean management structure at the nano-cap, but Hambare's accounting background rather than strategic pedigree keeps the bar for upside low.

What we’re watching

Shareholder approval at the next AGM.
Any subsequent change in corporate strategy or cost structure.
Whether the CFO role remains combined or separates in future.

The full read

Avance Technologies moved quickly to fill its CFO gap, appointing Santosh Hambare as both Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer. The dual role is unusual but suggests a lean management structure at the nano-cap. Former MD Latesh Poojary stays on the board as a non-executive director, and Dipak Gaikwad joins as an independent director, strengthening oversight—the appointments are subject to shareholder approval. For a company with a market cap of ₹188 crore and trailing revenue down 36%, the leadership refresh resolves near-term uncertainty without signaling a strategic pivot. Whether Hambare's accounting background can drive the next growth phase remains an open question.

Avance Technologies loses its CFO without naming a successor

Tipsheet Editorial — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 19:29:14 GMT

CFO Vijay Purohit resigns effective June 20, citing personal commitments; the nano-cap company's finance chief post is now vacant.

What’s new

CFO Vijay Purohit resigns effective June 20, 2026, citing personal and professional commitments.
No successor has been named, leaving the finance function without a key managerial personnel.
Departure follows recent auditor changes and profits reliant on other income.

Why it matters

For a ₹192 cr nano-cap, the absence of a CFO amplifies governance uncertainty. With recent auditor changes and profit almost entirely from other income (₹13.84 cr vs ₹13.24 cr net), the open question is how quickly the board appoints a successor.

What we’re watching

Speed and quality of new CFO appointment.
Any delays in quarterly filings or reporting.
Board communication on governance continuity.

The full read

Avance Technologies, a ₹192 cr nano-cap, is without a CFO after Vijay Purohit resigned effective June 20, 2026, citing personal and professional commitments. No successor has been named, leaving a key vacant position. While the reason is benign, the departure comes at a time when governance is already under scrutiny: recent auditor changes and a profit profile almost entirely dependent on other income (₹13.84 cr other income versus ₹13.24 cr net profit). For a nano-cap, the absence of a CFO amplifies uncertainty around financial reporting continuity. The open question is how quickly the board fills the role.

Avance's ₹13.24 cr profit is almost entirely other income. Revenue fell.

Tipsheet Editorial — Fri, 29 May 2026 20:35:00 GMT

A 150% profit jump hides a shrinking core business. Other income of ₹13.84 cr was larger than the annual net profit.

What’s new

Consolidated net profit jumped 150% to ₹13.24 cr for FY26.
Revenue from operations declined to ₹159.26 cr from ₹171.77 cr the prior year.
Q4 profit was ₹10.37 cr, swinging from a ₹1.36 cr loss a year ago.

Why it matters

The profit surge is a bottom-line story, not a top-line one. With core revenue declining, the entire earnings improvement is attributable to non-operational income that exceeded the net profit figure. That raises a direct question about sustainability.

What we’re watching

The composition of the ₹13.84 cr other income in detailed financials.
Whether core revenue stabilises in FY27 or continues to shrink.
If the Q4 profit level holds without the same other-income support.

The full read

Avance Technologies posted a 150% jump in annual net profit to ₹13.24 crore for FY26. The headline number is flattering. Revenue from operations actually declined to ₹159.26 crore from ₹171.77 crore the prior year. The profit surge was manufactured by ₹13.84 crore in other income. That figure alone exceeds the full-year net profit. The Q4 swing from a ₹1.36 crore loss to a ₹10.37 crore profit tells the same story. For a nano-cap with a ₹208 crore market value, the clean audit opinion is a procedural box checked. The substantive question is whether this profit can repeat without the one-off income that made it. Core revenue is shrinking. The earnings quality is questionable.

Avance's ₹13.24 crore profit came from ₹13.84 crore in other income

Tipsheet Editorial — Fri, 29 May 2026 20:28:24 GMT

Annual profit surged 150% to ₹13.24 crore, but ₹13.84 crore came from non-operational gains. Core revenue slipped.

What’s new

Avance's FY26 net profit jumped 150% to ₹13.24 crore despite revenue from operations softening to ₹159.26 crore.
The profit surge was driven by a multi-fold increase in other income to ₹13.84 crore.
Q4 net profit swung to ₹10.37 crore from a ₹1.36 crore loss a year ago.

Why it matters

The earnings quality is poor. The entire profit increase and then some came from volatile, non-core other income. A business growing its top line would be a different story.

What we’re watching

Whether other income sustains or proves to be a one-off.
Core revenue trajectory after the slight softening.
Management's explanation for the large other income swing.

The full read

Avance Technologies' 150% jump in annual profit is not what it first appears. The headline ₹13.24 crore net profit was almost entirely powered by ₹13.84 crore in other income, not the core business. Revenue from operations slipped slightly to ₹159.26 crore. The fourth quarter alone delivered a ₹10.37 crore profit, swinging from a ₹1.36 crore loss a year ago. Earnings per share doubled to ₹0.07. The profit expansion is real, but its source is the problem. Other income is by nature volatile and non-recurring. A business growing its top line would be a different story. One quarter of extraordinary other income does not make a trend.
