The full read

Galada Finance lost its CFO K.R. Manimeghala on June 20, 2026. The company informed the BSE the next day, calling it an irreparable loss. No replacement has been named. This is a nano-cap NBFC with a market cap of ₹7 cr and a loan book of ₹17 cr. The CFO is often the only person running finance and compliance. The sudden vacancy hits at a moment of modest traction: trailing revenue grew 41.5% and PAT 50.7%, though return on equity sits at just 4.3% and debt-equity at 1.14. The immediate risk is not a loan book blow-up. It is that regulatory filings, lender updates, and investor calls stall without a finance chief. For a ₹7 cr company, that is the difference between staying listed and drifting into distress.
