Tata Sons Narrows Chairman Succession to Narendran, Agrawal, and Chauhan
Tata Sons is in the process of selecting a successor to Chairman N Chandrasekaran, whose tenure ends in February 2027. The search has narrowed to three candidates: Tata Steel CEO T V Narendran, Tata Sons CFO Saurabh Agrawal, and NSE CEO Ashish Chauhan, with Narendran seen as the frontrunner. Chauhan is considered a potential dark horse due to his capital markets experience. The Tata Sons board and Tata Trusts, led by Noel Tata, are involved in the decision, which remains pending.
