Mehli Mistry, a long-time confidant of the late Ratan Tata and executor of his will, has been voted out of his position as a lifelong trustee of Tata Trusts.
The move marks a significant turning point for one of India’s most powerful philanthropic organisations, which collectively controls about 66% of Tata Sons, the holding company of the Tata Group.
Since Mistry could not vote on a resolution concerning himself, the 3-2 vote outcome effectively ended his tenure on October 28, 2025, as a trustee.
