Tata v Tata: What’s behind India’s big boardroom brawl?

An unprecedented power struggle has erupted between the board of Tata Sons, the holding company of the Tata Group, and its majority shareholder Tata Trusts. Last week, Tata Sons extended Chairman N Chandrasekaran’s term and announced plans to consider publicly listing the holding company, challenging the family-controlled trust. The dispute involves the future leadership and structure of the conglomerate, which has a market capitalization of $277 billion and operates across more than 100 countries.
