₹53 cr Market cap of Shipwaves Online, a nano-cap.

What's new

  • CFO Zeeshan Habibi resigns effective 6 July 2026, unable to devote sufficient time.
  • Company secretary Jessica Mendonca resigns to pursue other opportunities.
  • Promoter Sahim Haris appointed as new CFO from 7 July 2026.

Why this matters

For a ₹53 cr nano-cap that posted a net loss in its latest quarter despite high trailing ROE, losing two KMPs simultaneously is a red flag. The promoter stepping in as CFO provides continuity but blurs the line between management and ownership.

What we're watching

  • Whether the company clarifies reasons behind the exits.
  • Impact on financial controls with a promoter doubling as CFO.
  • Any further KMP changes in the coming months.

The full read

Shipwaves Online lost both its CFO and company secretary on the same day. CFO Zeeshan Habibi resigned effective 6 July 2026, citing an inability to devote sufficient time. Company secretary Jessica Mendonca left to pursue other opportunities. The board took just 20 minutes to accept both resignations and appoint replacements.

The new CFO is promoter Mohammed Sahim Haris, who already serves as whole-time director and has a finance background. A nano-cap losing two key managerial personnel in one go is an event. For a ₹53 cr company that posted a net loss in the latest quarter despite high ROE, the abrupt finance-function change raises questions about governance.

It's an unusual setup.
