Our Company was originally incorporated on February 16, 1973, at Madras, India as `R. K. Swamy Advertising Associates Private Limited', a private limited company under the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to a certificate of incorporation issued by the Registrar of Companies, Tamil Nadu at Madras. Due to strategic investment by BBDO into the Company, the Board of our Company approved the change in the name of our Company from `R. K. Swamy Advertising Associates Private Limited' to `R. K. Swamy BBDO Advertising Private Limited' by their resolution dated June 30, 1990, which was thereafter approved by the Shareholders of our Company through their special resolution dated September 3, 1990 and a fresh certificate of incorporation, under the Companies Act, 1956, was issued by the Registrar of Companies, Tamil Nadu at Madras on September 11, 1990. Subsequently, in accordance with Section 43-A(1A) of the Companies Act, 1956, the Company became a deemed public Company and a fresh certificate of incorporation, under section 43-A (2) of the Companies Act, 1956, was issued by the Registrar of Companies, Tamil Nadu at Madras on March 26, 1997 with effect from April 1, 1997. Consequently, due to an amendment made to the Companies Act, 1956, our Company no longer qualified under Section 43-A(1A) of the Companies Act, 1956 and hence the Company transitioned back into a private company by deleting its provisions related to being deemed public company and a fresh certificate of incorporation, in accordance with Section 43-A(2A) under the Companies Act, 1956, was issued by the RoC on March 26, 2001. Thereafter, the Board of our Company approved the change in the name of our Company from `R. K. Swamy BBDO Advertising Private Limited' to `R. K. Swamy BBDO Private Limited' by their resolution dated December 15, 2004, which was thereafter approved by the Shareholders of our Company pursuant to a special resolution dated December 23, 2004, in the view that dropping the word advertising would add to better future prospects for the Company and a fresh certificate of incorporation, under the Companies Act, 1956, was issued by the RoC on February 21, 2005. Afterwards, the Board of our Company approved the change in the name of our Company from `R. K. Swamy BBDO Private Limited' to `R K Swamy Private Limited' by their resolution dated May 16, 2022, which was thereafter approved by the Shareholders of our Company pursuant to a special resolution dated May 19, 2022, due to the disinvestment of BBDO from the Company and a fresh certificate of inco rporation, under the Companies Act, 2013, was issued by the RoC on June 21, 2022. Subsequently, our Company was converted into a public limited company under the Companies Act, 2013 and consequently the name of our Company was changed from `R K Swamy Private Limited' to `R K Swamy Limited' pursuant to a resolution passed by the Board of our Company on June 16, 2023 and a special resolution passed by the Shareholders of our Company on July 3, 2023, and a fresh certificate of incorporation dated July 17, 2023 was issued by the RoC.Major events and milestones1973Incorporation of our Company1974Setting up of office in Delhi1975Setting up of office in Bombay1977Setting up of office in Calcutta1980Setting up of office in Bangalore1989Setting up of office in Hyderabad1990Investment by BBDO in our Company1995Setting up of media agency, Media Direction2011Setting up of office in Cochin2015Broadcast Audience Research Council entered into agreement with our Company for panel management of the television audience measurement2022- Disinvestment by BBDO from our Company- Acquisition of Hansa Research- Setting up of Hansa Marketing Services LLC in Dubai- Setting up of Hansa Marketing Services Private Limited in Bangladesh- Acquisition of Hansa Customer Equity2023- Implementation of Scheme of Arrangement for demerger between HVIPL and R K Swamy Private Limited- Conversion to public limited company
