MUMBAI — In 2017, Natarajan Chandrasekaran made history by becoming the first non-family member to lead Tata Sons, one of India’s most prestigious conglomerates. His tenure marked a significant shift in the company’s governance, setting the stage for a new era of leadership. As he steps down, his successor will inherit a complex portfolio of challenges, including the critical revitalization of Air India and navigating the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence technologies that threaten to disrupt traditional business models.
