OnEMI Technology Solutions Private Limited (“Company” or “We” or“Our”) believes in promoting a fair, transparent, ethical, and professional work environment.

Any whistle-blower among the Directors and employees of the Company can report genuine concerns and actual or potential violations.

The Vigil Mechanism Policy covers malpractices and events which have taken place/are suspected to take place including but not limited to the following:

• Misappropriation of company’s funds.
• Conflict of interest.
• Corruption and bribery
• Discrimination of any form.

All matters not covered under this mechanism can be reported directly to your one-over manager or your Human Resources Contact.

As the provision of Section 177 of the Companies Act, 2013 is not applicable to the Company, it has not constituted an Audit Committee. Accordingly, the following shall be ensured by the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”)

• Disciplinary actions are taken against anyone who conceals or destroys evidences related to protected disclosures made under this mechanism.

The Board shall take suitable action against the complainant for any frivolous complaint.

The whistle-blower(s) are expected to speak up and bring forward the concerns or complaints about issues listed under Section C ‘Coverage of the vigil mechanism’. The Ethics Helpline is established for this purpose and the reporting channels which can be made available to the whistle-blower are covered in Section F ‘Lodging of Complaints/ Ethics Helpline’.

The Ethics Helpline will prepare the incident report based on the information provided by the whistle-blower and will share the incident report with the Board of Directors in the next 2 (two) business days.

In case Mr. Krishnan Vishwanathan- the Director appointed to play the role of Board is the subject of the complaint or has a perceived conflict of interest, the incident report would be sent to the remaining members of the Board.

The Mr. Krishnan Vishwanathan- the Director appointed to play the role of the Board shall recuse himself from further discussions or meetings on the subject to investigate any complaint which may have a perceived conflict will recuse themselves.

If an investigation leads to a conclusion that an improper or unethical act has been committed, Mr. Krishnan Vishwanathan- the Director appointed to play the role of the Board shall recommend to the Board to take such disciplinary or corrective action, as it may deem fit within 1(one) month from the date of receipt of such complaint.

All the relevant documents namely the complaint or the gist of the oral complaint, as the case may be, information/ document obtained during the investigation as evidence, including from witnesses, if any shall be fully secured to avoid any tampering and shall be preserved for a period of 2 (two) years from the date of the closure report or the investigation report, as the case may be.
