Tata battle and governance roadmap
The announcement by N Chandrasekaran that he won’t offer himself for a third term as Tata Sons chairman has come in the midst of long-drawn leadership uncertainty at the salt-to-software conglomerate. The turbulence between the holding company of the group and its principal shareholder, Tata Trusts, has played out strongly after the passing of Ratan Tata in October 2024. This comes exactly 10 years after the ouster of Cyrus Mistry as Tata Sons chairman.

As the selection process for the next chairman begins, all these questions will resonate more than ever. Episode 19 of Business Standard Dialogue will discuss all these points and more.
