Tech Mahindra told the exchanges that CEO designate Mohit Joshi will be appointed as an additional director of the company's board of directors from June 20. He has been named the company's full-time director, as well as managing director-designate and key managerial staff.

The board of directors authorised these modifications at a meeting on Thursday, subject to shareholder approval at the annual general meeting on July 27.
