: The board of auto-component manufacturing company Sundaram-Clayton Ltd Monday said its joint Managing Director Sudarshan Venu has decided to relinquish his post with immediate effect.
"Due to other business commitments, Sudarshan Venu relinquished his position as Joint Managing Director of the company, effective 11th March 2019, as he will not be able to give sufficient time to manage the day-to-day affairs of the company", Sundaram-Clayton Ltd, a TVS Group company, said in a regulatory filing.
Sudarshan Venu, son of noted industrialist Venu Srinivasan, would continue to serve as Non-Executive and Non-Independent D Director liable to retire by rotation, which would be valuable and supportive to the company, it said.
