N Chandrasekaran's Rise to Chairman of Tata Sons
N Chandrasekaran, the former CEO of Tata Consultancy Services, assumed the role of chairman of Tata Sons in 2017. His appointment followed a high-profile leadership transition involving the departure of his predecessor, Cyrus Mistry.
N Chandrasekaran has maintained a career spanning nearly four decades within the Tata Group. His tenure is marked by his long-term leadership at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), where he served as chief executive officer. In 2017, Chandrasekaran transitioned to the role of chairman of Tata Sons, the holding company for the Tata Group.
His appointment to the chairmanship occurred during a period of significant corporate instability. The leadership change followed a public and contentious boardroom dispute that resulted in the removal of Cyrus Mistry from the position of chairman. While the transition marked a major shift in the conglomerate's governance, Chandrasekaran’s elevation was widely viewed as a move to stabilize the organization given his extensive history and experience within the company's ecosystem.
