Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venu Srinivasan Tata Sons has become the centre of Tata Sons’ listing battle after the TVS Group veteran voted in favour of taking the Tata group holding company public, defying an internal circular from the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust that tried to block his vote. Tata Sons’ board passed the IPO resolution 4-1, with Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata the only director opposed. The board also extended N Chandrasekaran’s term as executive chairman, a move the Trusts also resisted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Venu Srinivasan, Chairman Emeritus of TVS Motor and a long-serving non-executive director on the Tata Sons board, has found himself at the heart of one of the most closely watched corporate governance disputes in India this year.<\/p>\n

The dispute centres on whether Tata Sons, the unlisted holding company that controls the Tata group’s operating businesses, should list publicly. The Reserve Bank of India had earlier turned down Tata Sons’ request to give up its registration as a core investment company, a category of non-bank lender that, once placed in the RBI’s Upper Layer, is required to list on the exchanges.<\/p>\n
