On, January 21, 2022, It's been six months since Maguire Investment Trust published an open letter calling for an operational overhaul at Yatra, and there was an extremely shareholder unfriendly corporate governance profile and a lack of transparency in its executive compensation packages at Yatra. Now Maguire Investment Trust had at least one of its key demands met. Yatra this week said it had appointed Roshan Mendis, Sabre's chief commercial officer, to its board as an independent director.
