Subject: Resignation as Independent Director from the Board of RP Tech Limited
Dear Chairman,
I joined the Board in 2024 at your invitation, shortly after the Company’s listing, on the
understanding that my experience in leadership, human resources and governance could
contribute meaningfully to the Company’s institutional development. I have consistently held
the view that listing and rapid growth should be accompanied by a corresponding progression
towards greater professionalism, transparency, institutionalisation and sound governance.
After careful reflection, I have decided to resign as an Independent Director of the Company
and, consequently, from my membership of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee
(NRC) and the CSR Committee, and from my position as Chairman of the Stakeholders’
Relationship Committee.
In accordance with the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations,
2015, I set out below the detailed reasons for my resignation.
During my tenure, I have experienced a fundamental divergence between my understanding
of sound governance and the manner in which certain important matters have been
approached. With the best and long-term interests of the listed Company in mind, I have
raised below mentioned concerns at relevant times, both orally and in writing. I have,
however, not seen commensurate progress in strengthening the underlying processes and
governance framework. My principal concerns are set out below.
1. Role and Effectiveness of the NRC
I have had concerns regarding process integrity in the NRC’s role in director selection and
KMP compensation, particularly where these matters have tended to be treated
substantially as management prerogatives rather than matters for independent NRC
deliberation. My oral and written submissions on this have not improved the process.
2. Commercial assignments involving firms associated with Independent Directors
Professional due-diligence assignments connected with a proposed acquisition were
undertaken through firms in which two Independent Directors, including the Audit Committee
Chairman, hold senior partner positions. These engagements were not disclosed at the
relevant Board meeting (approving the acquisition) and the directors concerned did not
recuse themselves, on the stated argument of the company and by implications concerned
Independent directors that this was not legally required. Whether that interpretation is legally
sustainable is not for me to determine and may appropriately be left to the competent
regulatory or legal authorities.
I am of the view that Independent directors of a listed company are expected to bring
independence, objectivity and freedom from actual, potential or perceived conflicts to Board
deliberations. Where firms closely associated with Independent Directors receive professional
assignments connected with a transaction subsequently placed before the Board for approval,
the issue, in my view, goes beyond technical compliance.
I believe that good governance requires that such engagements be supported by a
transparent and structured process, including demonstrable objectivity in selection,
appropriate consideration of alternative professional firms, disclosure of the relationship to
the Board and appropriate safeguards against actual, potential or perceived conflicts of
interest. These safeguards are particularly important in a listed company, where the
independence of directors must be evident not only in form, but also in substance and
perception.
My concern is one of governance. Taking an overall view of the intent of the statutory
framework, including the principles of fiduciary obligation, independence, objectivity and
integrity embodied in Schedule IV of the Companies Act, 2013, I regard matters of pecuniary
relationships of two Independent directors with the company is one of serious concern and
failure to disclose and recusal in situations of potential and perceived conflict, a serious
matter against safeguarding transparency and independence.
These concerns are not, in my assessment, isolated procedural matters. Collectively, they
relate to transparency, process integrity, independence, institutionalisation and the
substantive functioning of the Board and its Committees.
I have therefore concluded, after careful consideration, that the divergence between my
understanding of governance principles and the manner in which they are being applied is
sufficiently fundamental. After making sincere efforts, I believe that the prevailing governance
culture does not provide an environment conducive to meeting governance standards to the
level I believe appropriate for a listed company. Thus, my continuing on the Board would not
enable me to contribute in the manner originally envisaged.
Accordingly, I hereby tender my resignation as an Independent Director with immediate effect
(from the date of this mail). I request the Company to make the necessary disclosures and
filings with the stock exchanges, the Registrar of Companies and other authorities, including
filing of the prescribed Form DI
