Appointment of Three New Non-Executive Directors
Nandan Cleantec plc ("Nandan" or the "Company"), a scaled
vertically integrated biofuel producer is pleased to announce the
appointment of three new non-executive directors, Kishore Gupta,
Surendra Ajjarapu and Sandesh Pandhare with immediate effect. With
these appointments, the Nandan Board's non-executive representation
is expanded from 2 to 5.
Nandan operates in a wide range of jurisdictions. The rationale
for these appointments is to further strengthen the international
experience and talent of Nandan's Board as the Company looks to
continue to deliver on its IPO commitment to cover more geographies
outside of India.

publically listed company in India from November 2000 till November
2010 where he had responsibilities in Finance, Legal and other
operational functions. He is an Indian resident.
Surendra Ajjarapu has nearly two decades of experience in energy
and infrastructure investments and has worked on several energy
transactions in wind, hydro, biomass, waste-to-energy and
cogeneration in the US and India. He has served on the board of
directors of AE Biofuels, Inc (now called Aemetis), a US public
company producing renewable chemicals and fuels using patented
microbes and processes. He currently manages a private investment
firm focused on opportunistic investing in the energy and natural
resources sectors. He is a US resident.
Sandesh Pandhare has over 20 years of experience in the global
private equity and investment management industry. He manages a
global portfolio of companies in diverse sectors that include
alternative energy. He is currently Head of Private Equity at
Istithmar World the investment arm of Dubai World which is 100%
owned by the Government of Dubai. Istithmar World is a substantial
shareholder in Nandan. He is a resident of the UAE.
On confirming the appointments Srinivas Prasad Moturi, Chairman
of Nandan, said:
"I would like to welcome Kishore, Surendra and Sandesh to the
Board of Nandan and I look forward to working with them. They will
bring valuable perspectives to the business going forward as well
as being a helpful link between our Indian executive team and our
UK resident non-executives, bringing with them a wealth of
knowledge.
"Kishore has strong corporate governance credentials from his
time at SpiceJet. Surendra and Sandesh have key relationships that
may help Nandan to access capital from the US and Middle East Asia
in the future to further expand the business."
