The Domino’s Pizza operator said the executive will leave in September after resigning to pursue an external opportunity
Jubilant FoodWorks, the operator of Domino’s Pizza and Popeyes in India, said on Wednesday that its Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer (CIO), Narottam Sharma, has resigned to pursue an external opportunity.
According to a regulatory filing, Sharma resigned from his position as Senior Vice President, CIO and Senior Managerial Personnel through an email dated July 21, 2026. Although he had requested to be relieved at the close of business on September 1, 2026, the company said his last working day will be September 18, 2026.
The company said the Board will appoint his successor in due course.
“The Board of Directors of the Company will appoint his successor in due course,” Jubilant FoodWorks said in the filing.
In his resignation email to Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Sameer Khetarpal, Sharma thanked the management for its support during his tenure.
“I sincerely thank the management for the support extended to me during my tenure with the Company and wish the Company continued success in all its future endeavours,” he wrote.
Jubilant FoodWorks has not identified a replacement for the role. It said details regarding the appointment of Sharma’s successor will be shared in due course.
The development comes a week after the company received a Goods and Services Tax (GST) show cause notice proposing a demand of Rs 46.9 crore. In a separate regulatory filing, Jubilant FoodWorks said it would contest the notice.
The notice alleges that the company reversed Input Tax Credit (ITC) in an incorrect table while filing its GST returns. Jubilant FoodWorks said the proposed demand stems from the presentation and classification of the ITC reversal rather than any additional tax liability.
“The company has received a show cause notice (SCN) from the GST Department proposing a GST demand amounting to ₹46,90,96,051,” the company said.
Jubilant FoodWorks said the notice does not take into account the merits of its submissions and that it is preparing a detailed response within the prescribed timeline.
“The company is in the process of filing detailed objections within the stipulated timelines as per the SCN. Post such filings, the impugned SCN and proposed demand is likely to be dropped,” it said, adding that the alleged “wrong presentation/classification of ITC reversal” has “no financial impact” on the company.
Shares of Jubilant FoodWorks were trading at Rs 417.85, down 1.73 per cent, at 3:37 pm on Wednesday.
