Awfis CFO Exits; Rochlani Takes Helm Amid Mixed Results
Overview

Awfis Space Solutions announced CFO Ravi Dugar's resignation, effective February 2, 2026, to pursue new career paths. Sumit Rochlani, a seasoned finance professional with prior Awfis experience and extensive background including a decade at Boeing, will succeed him. This leadership transition follows a Q2 FY26 where revenue grew 25.5% but net profit declined nearly 60%.

CFO Departure and Succession

Awfis Space Solutions Limited is set for a finance leadership change as Chief Financial Officer Ravi Dugar prepares to step down on February 2, 2026. The company's board has approved the appointment of Sumit Rochlani as his successor, effective February 3, 2026.

Dugar's Tenure and IPO Milestone

Dugar cited the pursuit of "better career opportunities" for his departure after nearly three years with the company. In his letter to the board, he reflected on strengthening governance frameworks and highlighted the "landmark milestone of taking Awfis public." He expressed pride in contributing to the successful Initial Public Offering (IPO).

Rochlani's Background and Experience

Sumit Rochlani, a Chartered Accountant, brings over 14 years of experience in audit, financial planning, corporate finance, and taxation. He previously served as Head of Finance at Awfis from May 2020 to May 2022. Rochlani also spent more than a decade associated with aerospace giant Boeing.

Mixed Financial Performance Revealed

The leadership change occurs against a backdrop of mixed financial results for the Peak XV-backed company. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, Awfis reported a 25.5% year-on-year increase in revenue from operations to ₹366.9 crore. However, net profit saw a significant decline of nearly 60%, settling around ₹16 crore, largely due to increased expenses including depreciation and finance costs.

Regulatory Compliance Focus

As part of the Key Managerial Personnel, the outgoing CFO Dugar was also authorized to determine the materiality of events and ensure timely disclosures under SEBI regulations. This underscores the company's commitment to ongoing regulatory compliance.
