The Tatas' Turbulent Transition: A Power Struggle Plays Out in Plain Sight The announcement by N Chandrasekaran that he will step down as Tata Sons chairman has shed light on a long brewing power struggle within India's largest business conglomerate.
This succession process, closely watched by the public and investors alike, represents the latest chapter in a saga of internal conflicts and leadership changes since Ratan Tata's passing in 2024.
The heart of the dispute lies in Tata Trusts, which owns approximately 66% of Tata Sons and holds significant influence over the conglomerate's long term strategic direction.
