Still trading · Statutory filing in the last 24 months (thecompanycheck.com, 8 Sept 2026)
What we found
Entity confirmed because the registry page lists website earthful.me and the brand Earthful, and the brand card places Earthful in Hyderabad. One post-air director, Veda Gogineni (2025-11-04), but she shares a surname with founder-director Sai Sudha Gogineni and is not flagged Nominee, so this reads as a family appointment rather than a Ritesh Agarwal investor nominee. Filings are a year stale (last AGM 2024) and there is no charge and no capital jump. WebSearch quota was exhausted for the whole session, so playbook step 1 and step 3 could not be run; this row rests on registry and brand-site fetches only, and no director could be matched to a founder name from pitch coverage. Confidence: medium.
