Noel Tata: From shadows to spotlight

THE NEW CHAIRMAN of Tata Trusts, however, has done enough to remove the earlier perception of "lack of exposure".

His last executive assignment was the managing director of Tata International, the trading and distribution arm of the Tata Group, between August 2010 and November 2021, where he grew the company from a turnover of $500 million to over $3 billion.

Prior to that, he served as the MD of Trent for more than 11 years, where he oversaw the growth from a one-store operation in 1998 to nearly 1,000 stores across formats. Its shares have surged more than 6,000% in the past decade.
