In order to facilitate an orderly leadership transition; ensure long-term continuity; and strengthen succession planning, the Board of Directors at its meeting held on February 12, 2026, based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, have approved the redesignation of Mr. Jayendrabhai Bhailalbhai Patel from Vice Chairman & Managing Director to Whole-time Director of the Company and redesignation of Mr. Aalok Jayendra Patel from the position of Joint Managing Director to Vice Chairman & Managing Director subject to approval of the shareholders. The said redesignation of Mr. Jayendrabhai Bhailalbhai Patel is within the overall remuneration ceiling of ₹120 lakhs per annum, with the pre-closure of his existing term as Managing Director subject to Members’ approval by way of special resolution. Such appointment will not be considered as a break in his service with the Company. The Company has received his consent for the said redesignation.
Mr. Jayendrabhai Bhailalbhai Patel (Age 74 years) is the founder of Arman Financial Services Limited and has over three decades of senior managerial and board-level experience in the financial services sector.
