Likely successors to Ratan Tata

Leah, Maya and Neville are the children of Noel Tata, Ratan Tata's stepbrother, and are considered Ratan Tata's successors, according to media reports.

Veteran industrialist and chairman emeritus of the Tata Group, Ratan Tata, has passed away at the age of 86 in a hospital in Mumbai. With his death, the focus has now shifted to the next generation of Tata heirs. Some members of the next generation of the TATA family are already in leadership positions within the Tata Group. The focus is on Leah Tata, Maya Tata and Neville Tata, the family members of Ratan Tata and ready to carry on the legacy.

Ratan Tata's likely successor

Ratan Tata had reportedly approved the appointment of Leah, Maya and Neville as trustees of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and the Sir Ratan Tata Trust, which are the main philanthropic arms of the Tata Trust. These foundations play a central role in the Tata family's charitable work. The younger generation of the Tata family currently holds board positions in five of the group's key philanthropic organizations. For those who don't know, Leah, Maya and Neville are the children of Noel Tata, Ratan Tata's stepbrother.

These three potential successors could ultimately take up board positions in the group's operating companies, where they already gain experience in various management functions.
