Certain companies are compulsorily required to have a managing or whole-time director or manager (Section-269)
As per section 269(1), a public company or a private company which is a subsidiary of a public company, having a paid up share capital of rupees five crores or more shall have a managing or whole-time director or manager.
Therefore, a private company is not statutorily required to have managing or whole-time director or manager.

Check my article appointment of managerial personnel part-1 and 2.
You may also do one thing. Appoint MD from back date i.e. before conversion proceedings to avoid strict appointment provisions applicable to a public co.
In case of a pvt. co. you can appoint MD simply by passing a board resolution.
