Why many in SKS love to hate founder Vikram Akula


Mumbai: SKS Microfinance Ltd’s annual general meeting (AGM) in Mumbai on Tuesday was a largely tame affair with SKS Trust Advisors Pvt. Ltd (STAPL), the largest shareholder in the company, choosing not to press its demand for a board seat for founder Vikram Akula.
STAPL, however, forced the company to put all seven resolutions to vote at the AGM—four ordinary and three special resolutions, including one on reappointment of its managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) M.R. Rao. All resolutions were passed except one special resolution on employees’ stock options.
The Trust also wrote to the capital market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), seeking its intervention to withhold the results of the vote. It cited “irregularities” by the company at the AGM in the conduct of the poll and sought “an independent enquiry”.
