Noel Tata has been appointed as the chairman of Tata Trusts, the philanthropic arm of the Tata Group, following the passing of his half-brother Ratan Tata on October 9. The appointment was made unanimously during a meeting held in Mumbai on October 11. Noel Tata’s new role holds particular significance, as Tata Trusts owns a 66% stake in Tata Sons, the holding company for various firms under the Tata brand. This leadership transition aligns with Ratan Tata’s philosophy of “moving on.”
