The full read
Sylph Industries lost its entire top finance layer on July 7. The CFO and three non-executive directors walked out. 9 days later, the man in charge of the company followed. Executive MD Hasmukh Nanalal Shah resigned on July 16, citing personal reasons. The board accepted the same day. A nano-cap with ₹33 crore market cap now has no MD, no CFO, and a depleted board. The latest quarter showed sales of ₹25 crore and profit of ₹2 crore — but that is meaningless without management. 9 days. Two waves of departures. One leadership vacuum. The open question is who will run the company.
