The full read
Rajesh Ghosh is now fully in charge of Harmony Capital Services. Shareholders at the June 3 AGM approved his director appointment, confirming the board seat that follows his acquisition of a controlling stake. At the same meeting, they voted down the reappointment of Sankalp Kawatra and Jubin Gada. Both directors stepped down immediately. For a nano-cap shell company changing hands, this is the moment the old management officially exits and the new owner gets a clean board to work with. The core transition was expected, but the two-for-two director rejection is the concrete signal that the change is total.
