Venu Srinivasan Reappointed as Lifetime Trustee at Tata Trusts

In a significant move amid internal tensions at Tata Trusts — the primary holding entity of the Tata Group — Venu Srinivasan has been unanimously reappointed as a lifetime trustee. This decision came just before the end of his current term on October 23.

The appointment is seen as a strategic step to project unity within the organization, which is reportedly divided into two factions. One faction is led by Noel Tata, who is seen as the successor to Ratan Tata, while the other is associated with the Shapoorji Pallonji family, represented by Mehli Mistry.

With Srinivasan’s reappointment confirmed, all eyes are now on whether Mehli Mistry will also be reappointed, as his term is set to expire on October 28.

This development highlights the ongoing internal dynamics within Tata Trusts and may set the tone for the future leadership structure of the organization.
