Mr Sinha@MrsinhaThe next Tata Sons AGM may decide much more than one directorship. It may decide whether Tata continues as a professionally governed institution or moves closer to concentrated family control. Business Standard reports that Noel Tata and his immediate family now occupy 17 of 36 trustee positions across the seven trusts that hold Tata Sons shares. At the same time, Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh have questioned whether major strategic proposals were communicated as the Trusts’ position without adequate consultation. That is the real story. If the Trusts themselves are divided, who gets to speak for “Tata Trusts”? And if one family bloc becomes powerful enough to shape the trusts, and the trusts control Tata Sons, where exactly does professional management end and inherited influence begin? Tata became India’s most respected business institution because it outgrew the idea of one family running everything. The AGM will test whether that principle still holds. The question is not whether Noel Tata has influence. Of course he does. The question is whether influence is becoming control.1h
