Tata Trusts has recommended N Chandrasekaran for a third term as Chairman of Tata Sons, the principal holding company of the Tata Group. This recommendation is significant given that Tata Trusts controls 66% of Tata Sons’ equity, giving them substantial influence over leadership decisions. Chandrasekaran’s tenure has been marked by strategic initiatives and governance oversight within the conglomerate. The decision comes amid internal disagreements among the trustees, particularly on board appointments and governance matters, reflecting the importance of strong leadership continuity to maintain stability and direction in one of India’s largest and most diversified business groups.
