Outsider can become member in Pvt company ( there is no restriction on the company law ( again I'm highlighting that there should not be any contrary mentioned in AOA) , just one thing for new allotment sec 42/62 has to be followed while for inter se transfer ,the existing holder have pre emptive right ,so first offeer will be made to existing holder , otherwise with the board nod and shateholder approval shares can be transferred (If AOA says shareholder can't sell to outsider ,then first amend AOA )
Giving you for example only - by following section 42/62 and rules shares can be allotted to VC/private equity ,Just Like One Indian Pvt ltd ecommerce allot shares to US retail giant ,on basis of existing holder s/r and SHA
for sell directly by founders/promoters there is board process of approval ,valuation and in some cases shateholder approval and with SH4 shares can be transferred
I AM AGAIN REITERATING THAT TO BECOME DIRECTOR IN PVT CO* THERE IS NO NEED TO ACQUIRE ANY SHARES (UNLESS ITS A PRE CONDITION AS PER SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT /CHANGE IN CONTROL OR AOA)
I hope it clears to you ,read it in conjunction with my previous two replies
