Tata Sons Listing Raises Concerns Over Control and Market Risks

The tussle highlights broader questions about ownership versus control in Indian corporate governance, as professional boards increasingly challenge promoter families' influence. The debate centers on preserving the group's legacy while addressing financial and governance challenges.
