Venu Srinivasan seeks inquiry into Tata Trusts governance
In short
Venu Srinivasan, a trustee of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, has asked the Charity Commissioner to look into the trust’s administration and governance. The report says he also raised concerns about Tata Trusts’ role in Tata Sons and Noel Tata’s appointment.
This matters because Tata Trusts is closely linked to Tata Sons, but the reporting does not say what action, if any, will follow.
