Bringing an end to speculation around Mehli Mistry’s trusteeship in the Tata Trusts, the former trustee has officially parted ways with the Tata Group, ANI quoted sources close to Mistry.
According to ANI sources, Mehli Mistry, in his letter marked to all the trustees including Chairman Noel Tata said, “…I have been made aware of the recent reportage surrounding my trusteeship in the Tata Trusts, upon my return to Mumbai last night. I believe that this letter should assist in putting the quietus on speculative news reports that do not serve the interests of the Tata Trusts and are inimical to its vision…”
“The Tata Trusts have been synonymous with integrity and service to the nation. It has been my privilege to serve as a Trustee till 28-10-2025, an honour bestowed upon me by Ratan N Tata. In discharging my duties towards the Tata Trusts, I have been guided by his vision of ethical governance, quiet philanthropy and utmost integrity,” Mehli’s letter mentioned.
Mehli further expressed that his commitment to Ratan N Tata’s vision includes a responsibility to ensure that the Tata Trusts are not plunged into controversy, and that precipitating matters would cause irreparable harm to the reputation of the Tata Trusts.
Mentioning that, in the spirit of Ratan N Tata and as someone who always put public interest before his own, Mehli Mistry said public interest and good governance, based on principles of transparency, should guide the actions of the other trustees.
Mehli exited the Tata Trusts with a quote that Ratan N. Tata used to tell him, “Nobody is bigger than the institution it serves…”
