Tata Trusts has unanimously reappointed Venu Srinivasan as a lifetime trustee while facing internal divisions as Mehli Mistry's term nears expiration on October 28. This development follows the appointment of Noel Tata as chairman after Ratan Tata's passing, creating apparent factions within the organization that controls 66% of Tata Sons, the holding company for the 156-year-old Tata Group's 400 companies.
