Kalyan Capitals CFO Bids Adieu: Abhijeet Sharma Steps Down Amid Strategic Shift

Swarnadwip Nath Published Aug 27, 2025, 02:05 PM Updated Sep 17, 2026, 09:08 AM

In a significant leadership development, Kalyan Capitals Ltd, a rising player in India’s non-banking financial sector, has announced the resignation of Mr. Abhijeet Sharma, its Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The resignation, submitted on August 26, 2025, will take effect from August 31, 2025, as per the company’s regulatory disclosure under Regulation 30 of SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR).

The announcement comes at a time when Kalyan Capitals is undergoing a strategic transformation, having recently rebranded from Akashdeep Metal Industries Ltd to its current identity in April 2023. The company has been actively diversifying its financial services portfolio, including gold loans, SME financing, and digital lending products.

Who Is Abhijeet Sharma?

Mr. Sharma was appointed as CFO and Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) on November 19, 2024, bringing with him over five years of experience in financial management and corporate governance. A postgraduate in commerce, Sharma played a pivotal role in streamlining Kalyan Capitals’ financial reporting systems, improving compliance protocols, and supporting the company’s transition into a full-fledged NBFC.

His tenure saw the company:

Launch its first gold loan branch in August 2023
Improve its debt-to-equity ratio
Expand its retail lending footprint across Tier 2 cities

While the company has not disclosed the reason for his departure, sources close to the matter suggest it is part of a broader reshuffling of senior management aimed at aligning leadership with the company’s evolving strategic goals.

Financial Pulse of Kalyan Capitals

Kalyan Capitals Ltd is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange under ticker 538778, and operates as a Reserve Bank of India (RBI)-registered NBFC. The company’s financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, showed modest performance, with a focus on expanding its loan book and improving operational efficiency.

Key financial indicators include:

Promoter Holding: 67.59%
Public Holding: 32.41%
Q2 Net Profit (2024): ₹0.39 crore, down 35% YoY
Recent Appointments: CEO Anshu Agarwal (effective September 1, 2025)

The company has also appointed M/s HKS & Associates, LLP as its new secretarial auditors, signaling a renewed focus on governance and compliance.

What’s Next for Kalyan Capitals?

The resignation of a key financial executive like Sharma is likely to prompt a board-level review of succession planning and interim financial leadership. Industry watchers expect the company to announce a new CFO in the coming weeks, possibly someone with deeper experience in digital finance and NBFC operations.

“Leadership transitions are natural in high-growth environments,” said a financial analyst tracking the NBFC sector. “Kalyan Capitals has shown agility in the past, and this change could be an opportunity to bring in fresh perspective.”

The company’s next Board of Directors meeting is scheduled for November 7, 2025, where unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the half-year ending September 30 will be reviewed. It’s likely that the CFO succession plan will be discussed during this session.

Strategic Outlook

Kalyan Capitals is expected to continue its push into:

Gold-backed lending
Digital microfinance
SME credit solutions
Retail investment products

The company’s rebranding and operational expansion suggest a long-term vision of becoming a tech-enabled financial powerhouse catering to underserved markets across India.

While Sharma’s departure may raise short-term questions, the company’s recent moves—including new executive appointments and auditor changes—indicate a proactive approach to leadership and compliance.
