There has been no response from the company.
Mrs Riniki Sarma’s name is spelled as ‘Sharma’ in various sources and that caused confusion as some members of the family including, Bhaskar Sarma and Kailash Nath Sarma were spelled as ‘Sharma’ in different sources. The website of the Newslive spells the name as ‘Sharma’, the document with the shareholders also uses the ‘Sharma’ spelling, however she is registered at the Ministry of Corporate Affairs as Sarma.
