thebalanced.newsSwiggy Fails to Secure Shareholder Approval for Indian-Owned Status Amendment
Swiggy failed to secure the required 75% shareholder approval to amend its Articles of Association aimed at qualifying as an Indian-owned and controlled company (IOCC), receiving 72.36% votes. The amendment sought to change the board nomination framework, increasing founder CEO Sriharsha Majety's influence by removing certain investor rights. However, the appointment of Renan De Castro Alves Pinto as a Non-Executive Director was approved with 98.98% votes. Swiggy stated it remains committed to becoming an IOCC and will continue engaging shareholders.
