The passing of Sukumar Srinivas, founder and Managing Director of Shankara Building Products, marks a significant transition for the building materials retailer. Following his death on October 30, 2026, Dhananjay Mirlay Srinivas has been appointed as the new Managing Director, effective November 1, 2026, subject to shareholder approval. This leadership change coincides with the completion of a recent open offer where the Ballygunge Family Trust and PACs acquired an additional 26% stake, increasing their ownership to 75.52% and reshaping the company’s shareholder structure. Investors should monitor how the new leadership navigates the company’s growth trajectory and adapts to the altered ownership dynamics.
