Global Surfaces Ltd. has made notable changes to its board. Rakesh Grover has been appointed as an Additional Director, serving in a Non-Executive Independent capacity for a two-year term. This appointment is effective March 30, 2026, and requires shareholder approval to be formalized.
Concurrently, the company announced it has accepted the resignation of Ashish Kumar Kachawa from his director roles. Mr. Kachawa stepped down as Non-Executive, Non-Independent Director of Global Surfaces Ltd. and also resigned from the board of its material subsidiary, Global Surfaces FZE. The company cited increased professional commitments as the reason for his departure.
The appointment of Mr. Grover, who brings extensive experience from his tenure at Punjab National Bank, including roles like Chief General Manager, is expected to enhance the company's board expertise. His induction is viewed as a move to strengthen corporate governance and strategic oversight, with the company confirming he meets all necessary regulatory compliance requirements for an Independent Director.
Global Surfaces Ltd. was founded in 1991 and has since expanded from real estate into the manufacturing of natural stones and engineered quartz. The company became publicly listed in March 2023 following an initial public offering that raised about ₹154.98 Crore.
A key governance checkpoint for the new appointment is the upcoming shareholder meeting, where Mr. Grover's role as Independent Director will be voted upon. As of March 31, 2025, Global Surfaces Ltd. reported revenue of ₹215 crore for the fiscal year and held total assets valued at ₹2.86 billion.
