Mehli Mistry has officially announced his departure from Tata Trusts after his trusteeship was not renewed, citing Ratan Tata's principle that "Nobody is bigger than the institution it serves." The exit comes amid reported factional disagreements within the trust that oversees 66% of Tata Sons, revealing governance tensions in one of India's most prestigious business conglomerates. Mistry, cousin of the late Cyrus Mistry, emphasized his commitment to preserving the organization's reputation and ethical governance standards established by Ratan Tata.
