Inside N Chandrasekaran’s 9-year tenure as Tata Sons Chairman: Air India, chips, and big surge in market value

N Chandrasekaran’s resignation earlier today effectively closes a nine-year tenure that changed the shape of India’s largest business house. He will continue in office until his term formally ends on February 20, 2027, but has told the board that he will not seek reappointment.

After what seems like almost a year of turbulence at the Tata Sons board, the exit sets the stage to take at the key achievements under his tenure. Chandrasekaran had taken over the Tata Sons board at a very critical juncture in 2017.
