Clarification on Resolution No. 5, 6, and 9 as set out in the
Notice of the 9th Annual General Meeting
We refer to the Proxy Advisory and Corporate Governance Report issued by
Stakeholders Empowerment Services (“SES”) in relation to the 9th Annual General
Meeting (“AGM”) of KPIT Technologies Limited (the “Company”). The Company
appreciates SES’s engagement and sets out below its response to the AGAINST
recommendations on Resolutions 5, 6 and 9 as set out in AGM Notice.
At the outset, the Company respectfully submits that each concern is addressed
by the disclosures in the AGM Notice and the clarifications below. The proposals do
not create an entitlement to remuneration beyond the stated limits and applicable
law.
1. Resolution 5 – Payment of Remuneration to Non-Executive Directors
SES’s concern. SES has raised a transparency concern regarding the historical
distribution of commission among Non-Executive Directors (“NEDs”), noting that
late Mr. S. B. (Ravi) Pandit received ₹1.98 crore in FY 2025-26 compared with an
average of approximately ₹0.59 crore for the other NEDs. SES has also noted that
the proposal does not set an absolute cap for each NED and has sought clarity on
whether Dr. Nirmala Pandit will receive similar differential remuneration.
Company’s response. Resolution 5 does not increase the remuneration limit. It
seeks to maintain the existing limit of 2% of the Company’s net profits, in addition
to sitting fees, for a further five-year period commencing FY 2026-27. The same 2%
limit was approved by the Members at the 2021 AGM for FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26.
For the avoidance of doubt, Dr. Nirmala Pandit will be remunerated on the same
basis as the other Independent Directors. The Notice under Resolution 10 expressly
states that she will be entitled to sitting fees and commission in the same manner
as any other Independent Director. No special or differential remuneration is
proposed for her by reason of her status as a promoter NED or otherwise.
The historical payment to late Mr. S. B. (Ravi) Pandit reflected his exceptional
contribution to KPIT. He was a Co-Founder and Chairman and had been associated
with the Company for more than 37 years. The commission paid to him was
intended to recognise his extraordinary contribution, strategic guidance and
stewardship of the Company; it was not a differential practice proposed for
promoter NEDs generally.
The Company acknowledges that Resolution 5 does not prescribe a separate
absolute cap for each NED. The proposal instead maintains the existing aggregate
2% ceiling, which has not been fully utilised in the past, and does not create an
automatic entitlement to that amount. More importantly, the Company confirms
that no differential practice is proposed for any promoter NED going forward.

Accordingly, the historical circumstances relating to Mr. Pandit should not be
treated as an indication of the remuneration proposed for Dr. Nirmala Pandit or any
other promoter NED. The Company believes that the Notice and these clarifications
address the transparency concern while preserving a remuneration framework that
recognises the contributions of NEDs.
2. Resolution 6 – Remuneration Limits for Executive Directors
SES’s concern. SES has treated the proposal as an umbrella approval that increases
the limits from 5% to 8% for an individual Executive Director (“ED”) and from 10%
to 15% collectively, without disclosing a maximum amount for each ED. SES has
also noted that past remuneration remained within statutory limits and has stated
that it does not support umbrella approvals.
Company’s response. Resolution 6 does not seek an increase to the limits already
approved by shareholders. The 8% individual and 15% collective limits were
approved at the 2021 AGM for FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26, and the present proposal
seeks only to maintain those same limits for a further five years commencing FY
2026-27. The references to 5% and 10% are the statutory thresholds; they are not
new limits being sought by the Company at this AGM. The related overall maximum
managerial remuneration limit of 11% follows from the same framework and
remains subject to the Companies Act and SEBI (LODR) Regulations.
The reason for maintaining this flexibility is operational, not to authorise unbounded
remuneration. KPIT is executing a transformation from a pure services company to
an AI-led Products & Platform Company. This requires a separate leadership
structure for the product organisation and may require the Company to onboard
seasoned international business leaders and domain experts as EDs or NEDs,
including individuals based outside India. Their compensation may be set by local
market conditions, foreign-currency benchmarks and long-term incentive
structures such as ESOPs.
The Company also needs flexibility to assign EDs to and recruit leadership for its
global operations. ED responsibilities extend to the consolidated KPIT Group rather
than only the standalone Company. The scale of that responsibility is reflected in
consolidated revenue of ₹6,455 crore compared with standalone revenue of ₹2,608
crore. A ceiling calculated solely by reference to standalone profits does not fully
reflect the scope, scale and complexity of the Group’s operations.
Resolution 6 is not a substitute for shareholder approval of individual remuneration.
The remuneration of the proposed ED reappointments is separately placed before
shareholders under Resolutions 8 and 9 as ordinary resolutions, with the relevant
remuneration terms and caps disclosed and within applicable legal limits.
Shareholders therefore retain direct oversight of each proposed ED’s remuneration;
existing terms for the other EDs have already been approved in dedicated
shareh
