Tata Sons Begins Succession Process Following Chairman Chandrasekaran's Decision to Step Down
Tata Sons is preparing for a leadership transition after Chairman N Chandrasekaran announced he will not seek a third term ending February 2027. The Sir Dorabji Tata Trust has initiated forming a selection committee to recommend his successor, but the Sir Ratan Tata Trust's current restrictions on holding meetings pose challenges. The Tata Sons board is expected to meet on September 17 to discuss Chandrasekaran's decision, the postponed AGM, and other matters, amid differing views among trustees on the succession process and company governance.
