Noel Tata has been appointed as the chairman of Tata Trusts, which holds a significant 66% ownership of Tata Sons. This pivotal role positions him to influence the strategic, investment, and philanthropic directions of the Tata Group, one of India's largest conglomerates valued at $165 billion. His appointment follows the death of his half-brother, Ratan Tata, marking an important transition for the Trusts and the broader Tata Group. The Tata Trusts play a critical role in the governance of Tata Sons by appointing a third of the board members and holding veto power over significant decisions, thus ensuring a strategic direction aligned with the group’s philanthropic goals.
