The full read
Loyal Textile Mills, a ₹104 crore market-cap nano-cap, lost its CEO at the worst possible time. N Srinivasan quit on June 9, citing personal reasons, and the board immediately handed the keys to Executive Director M.E. Manivannan. Srinivasan is out June 30. The timing is brutal. The company is in the middle of a severe financial restructuring, selling assets to stay afloat after reporting a ₹66.22 crore net loss last year. For a company this size, losing the person running the turnaround is not a routine HR event. It is a material uncertainty. The open question is whether Manivannan can maintain operational continuity and investor confidence without a full-time CEO.
