Maya and Leah Tata Appointed to the Board of Trustees at Sir Ratan Tata Industrial Institute

Maya and Leah Tata, daughters of Noel Tata, are stepping into the spotlight, taking on significant roles within the Tata Group, one of India’s most influential conglomerates. Noel Tata, the half-brother of the legendary Ratan Tata, succeeded him as chairman of Tata Trusts, the philanthropic powerhouse that indirectly controls the $165 billion Tata Group.

The late Ratan Tata, who passed away in October, left behind a towering legacy, having transformed the Tata Group into a global force. As chairman of Tata Trusts, he oversaw its 66 percent stake in Tata Sons, the group’s holding company, which commands a dominant position in iconic firms like Tata Consultancy Services and Tata Motors, the owner of Jaguar Land Rover.

In a move that signals a new chapter for the Tata Group, Maya and Leah Tata have been inducted into the board of trustees of the Sir Ratan Tata Industrial Institute (SRTI), a subset of the Sir Ratan Tata Trust. This development, marks a significant step in the family’s continued influence over one of India’s largest business legacies.

The transition, which saw Maya and Leah replacing outgoing trustees Arnaz Kotwal and Freddy Talati, has stirred internally, with Kotwal expressing dissatisfaction over her resignation. The Tata siblings—Maya, Leah, and Neville—are now represented on the boards of several smaller Tata Trusts, though they have yet to join the two main ones: Sir Ratan Tata Trust and Sir Dorabji Tata Trust.
