Chandra reappointment has sullied Tata Sons’ image: Darius Khambata; declines another term in office

Tata Sons board’s September 17 decision to grant N Chandrasekaran a third term as chairman has sullied the company’s reputation, outgoing Tata Trusts board member Darius Khambata has said. Khambata expressed this view in a letter to Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata while declining another term in office. “The sad events of September 17, 2026, a day that will live in infamy, have sullied Tata Sons’ reputation and imperilled the image of corporate India. No amount of spin doctoring can mask what happened,” Khambata wrote on Monday.
