What's new

  • Mayank Chawla, former Bharti Airtel and Paytm executive, named CEO for five years.
  • Kredmint co-founders Vikas Garg and Rahul Nagar join as non-executive directors.
  • Two independent directors added, including a former RBI chief general manager.

Why this matters

For a ₹35 crore nano-cap, this is a complete governance reset. The incoming owners have recruited a former RBI official and a tech-sector CEO rather than cronies, signalling intent to professionalise. The Noida office formalises the geographic shift away from Secunderabad.

What we're watching

  • Whether Chawla's operational plan for Pankaj Polymers emerges in the next quarters.
  • How the new board reshapes capital allocation at a company this small.
  • Any further disclosure on the Kredmint founders' business strategy.

The full read

Pankaj Polymers has ₹35 crore of market capitalisation and, until today, a board that presumably matched its scale. That's gone. Mayank Chawla, who ran businesses at Bharti Airtel and Paytm, is now CEO for five years. The two new non-executive directors are Vikas Garg and Rahul Nagar, co-founders of Kredmint and the people who just acquired control. A former RBI chief general manager with 36 years of central-banking experience is now the most senior independent director. A Noida corporate office is being set up. This is a complete teardown and rebuild of a ₹35 crore company's governance in one filing. The new team is overqualified for the job. What they plan to do with a company this small is the open question.

Questions answered

Who are the new directors and where do they come from?
CEO Mayank Chawla is a former Bharti Airtel, Paytm, and Edenred executive. Vikas Garg and Rahul Nagar are Kredmint co-founders who acquired control.

The company approved a new corporate office in Noida, separate from its registered office in Secunderabad. It formalises the operational shift under new ownership.
