A Different Ball Game for Chandrasekaran

This refers to your article on N. Chandrasekaran ( Tough Journey, Feb 12). The best part about the selection of Chandrasekaran as the new Tata Sons chairman is that he has been part of the Tata Group ever since he has started his career. But running an IT company and being chairman of a conglomerate, which has interests in varied fields like telecom, chemicals, IT, power, finance, steel, housing , automobiles to tea, coffee, etc., will be a different ball game altogether. I am sure the Tata Group must have learnt its lessons from the Cyrus Mistry fiasco. Now there should be crystal clarity between Chadrasekaran and the group on how it should be run. Also, Chandrasekaran should be given a free hand to organise things the way he wants it to. Good governance and integrity have always been the hallmark of the Tata Group. Now Chandrasekaran has to put all he has in him to re-establish the lost credibility of the group in recent times. Last but not the least, Ratan Tata should also ensure that his involvement in the group’s day-today affairs is minimal. Bal Govind, Noida
