Aeries Technology, Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Aeries Technology, Inc. (AERT) filed an 8-K on March 30, 2026 reporting two executive changes: on March 26, 2026 Unnikrishnan (Unni) Balakrishnan Nambiar resigned as Chief Technology Officer effective March 31, 2026 to take a leadership role with the company’s wholly‑owned India subsidiary, Aeries Technology Group Business Accelerators Private Limited. On the same date the Board appointed Bhisham (Ajay) Khare—who has served as the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and a director since February 2025—to also serve as the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer (PAO), effective March 31, 2026.

Key Details

• Unni Nambiar resigned as CTO, effective March 31, 2026, to lead the company’s India subsidiary.
• Bhisham (Ajay) Khare (age 48) was appointed PAO effective March 31, 2026; he has been CEO and a director since February 2025 and served as CRO/COO since the business combination in November 2023.
• Mr. Khare did not enter into any new material plan, contract, or arrangement in connection with his PAO appointment.
• The filing states there are no family relationships or undisclosed reportable transactions between Mr. Khare and the company’s current or former officers or directors.

Why It Matters
This is an internal leadership shift rather than an external hire: the CEO taking on the PAO role centralizes financial and accounting responsibilities in an existing senior executive, which can affect internal controls and reporting continuity. The CTO’s move to lead the India subsidiary signals corporate focus on that unit but does not change the company’s disclosed compensation or related‑party arrangements. Investors should note the change for governance and reporting purposes and watch future filings for any updates on responsibilities, compensation, or additional personnel changes.
