Last term was spent in legal battle with Mistry

The 58-year-old Chandrasekaran’s last stint at Tata Sons began at a time when the group was battling a leadership crisis and a crisis of trust following the departure of Cyrus Mistry. Most of his first term was spent in a legal battle with Mistry. Prior to that Chandrasekaran had made TCS beneficial to the Tata Group, due to which Tata had strong trust in him and he was brought in as Mistry’s successor. He joined the board of Tata Sons in October 2016 and became the chairman in January 2017, taking over the official charge in February 2017. Chandrasekaran is also the chairman on the boards of Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Power and TCS. He is also called by the name of Chandra.
