Brainbees Solutions Strengthens Board with New Director Appointment

Brainbees Solutions Limited, operator of the popular e-commerce platform FirstCry.com, has officially welcomed Ms. Saloni Jain Rana to its board as a Non-Executive & Non-Independent Director. The appointment follows shareholder approval secured through a postal ballot process.
