Pursuant to Section 102 (1) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) read with section 110 of the Companies Act, 2013

Item No.1:

Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 149, 150, 152, 161 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) read with Schedule IV thereto and Articles of Association of the Company, the Board of Directors (“the Board”) of the Company on January 08, 2024, based on the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“the Committee”) and subject to the approval of shareholders, appointed Dr. Ram Sewak Sharma (Dr. Sharma) DIN: 02166194 as a Non-Executive Independent Director (Additional Director) of the Company, with effect from January 08, 2024 for a term of five consecutive years.

Dr. Ram Sewak Sharma (Dr. Sharma) is an IAS officer of 1978 batch, with a distinguished career in the Government of India and State Governments, leading reforms and leveraging IT to simplify administrative processes. In the process, he has contributed to shaping India's Policies in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).

Dr Sharma headed the TRAI from August 2015 to September 2020, in which period he brought consumer focus to reaching the telecom and broadcasting services to all pockets of the country, and where the regulatory action may have been insufficient, he advocated policy changes to the government.

He provided thought leadership through initiatives, for example, in adopting net neutrality principles in India, use of crowdsourced data to measure service quality, and leveraging blockchain to achieve regulatory outcomes.

He represented India at various international fora and contributed to the policy space in communication technologies and broadcasting. Before joining the TRAI, Dr Sharma worked as Secretary, Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, where he spearheaded the Digital India program to develop India into a digitally empowered society and a knowledge economy.

He brought in policies related to open source, open standards, and open APIs in all government projects and shaped eGovernance space by converting silo applications in various sectors to modern, multi-tenanted enterprise systems.

In February 2021, Dr. Sharma was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Authority of India, a body responsible for implementing two health initiatives of the Government of India, Ayushman Bharat Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) and Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and served the office till February 2023.

Dr. Sharma supported the development and adoption of several digital products in governance and citizen services, such as eKYC, Digital Locker, eSign, Online Reservation System (ORS) in the hospitals, Digital Attendance, Jeevan Pramaan (a system for issuing Digital Life Certificate for the pensioners) and the Digital Consent Artefact. Importantly, he crafted policies for digital payments that led to the creation of the phenomenally successful UPI payment system in India.

11

Before joining the Government of India as Secretary, Dr Sharma worked for one year in 2013-14 as Chief Secretary in the Government of Bihar and Jharkhand.

Dr. Sharma is best known for the role he played as Director General & Mission Director of the Unique Identification Authority of India in the years 2009 – 2013.
