Inside the Tata Trust Power Struggle Shaking Corporate India

In a recent Core Report discussion, our Founder and MD, Mr. Shriram Subramanian, explained the governance complexities surrounding Tata Trusts and Tata Sons, highlighting how India’s most respected conglomerate is navigating issues of control, transparency, and leadership succession within its unique charitable trust-based ownership model.

In a sharp and insightful segment, he highlighted that the core challenge within the Tata structure lies not in its design, but in the gradual diffusion of control and the need for stronger institutional governance. He noted that the influence of informal processes and the absence of a well-defined succession framework have occasionally created friction. He further added that sustained stability will depend on trustees embracing purpose-driven, transparent, and conflict-free governance that remains true to the group’s founding values and philosophy.
