Ratan Tata with Cyrus Mistry
In a letter sent to the six Tata group companies and their shareholders that are meeting this month to remove him as a director, ousted Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry on Monday said at the heart of the sustainability of the Tata group was governance reform, which was lacking throughout the institution at present. “This would mean the Government ensuring the working of the Tata Trusts, which are public charitable trusts, the property of the people of India, have a defined, transparent governance structure,” he said asking the companies to place his letter before the shareholders.
