What is an AGM (Annual General Meeting)?

An Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a mandatory yearly gathering of a company’s shareholders to review financial performance, approve dividends, appoint or reappoint directors, and address other key business matters. AGMs offer transparency and ensure accountability in corporate governance. It’s the heartbeat of accountability for a company like Ingersoll-Rand (India) Ltd

For investors, an AGM is not just a meeting—it’s a front-row seat to see how their investments are performing and where the company is headed. At Pocketful, we make it effortless for investors to stay informed and engaged with AGMs.

Key Features of AGMs

  1. Annual Requirement: Public companies are legally required to hold AGMs once a year.
  2. Approval of Financials: Approval of financial statements is the key agenda of AGM.

What is an EGM (Extraordinary General Meeting)?

An Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is called by a company to address urgent or special matters that cannot wait until the next AGM. These may include mergers, acquisitions, or amendments to the company’s bylaws.

For example, if Ingersoll-Rand (India) Ltd decides to merge with another company or launch a major initiative, an EGM is called to get shareholder approval. With Pocketful, investors can stay updated on upcoming EGMs.

  2. Flexible Timing: Can be convened at any time of the year.
