Authority to act
Evidence and agent registryWho can act for the company, and on whose authority. This is what a counterparty's agent checks before it accepts an order, signs, or pays.
Principal executive officerSanjiv Lamba, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, from Feb 25, 2026
Who can authorize an agentNot assessedNo Alpha inference about signing authority or board-reserved matters is published for this record.
Not assessed
AI agents registered by the companyNot registered in the public RegistryAgent Deployments, Agent Use Cases, Authority Grants, TrustChecks, Action Ledger entries and Governance Receipts live in the private enterprise overlay. They are never projected into the public Registry without explicit cross-plane authorization. Absence here is a plane boundary, not evidence that the enterprise operates no agents.
