As Chairman of Tata Group, India's largest and most diversified industrial house, Ratan N Tata presides over a sweeping business and philanthropic landscape.

Tata Group operates more than 80 companies ranging from software and automobiles to steel, consumer goods and telecommunications. With 200,000 employees across India, it is the nation's largest private employer.

Tata Group is also unique in that nearly two thirds of the equity of the parent firm, Tata Sons Ltd., is held by philanthropic trusts endowed by Sir Dorabji Tata and Sir Ratan Tata. These multipurpose trusts, chaired by Ratan N. Tata, include two of the earliest and largest private grantmaking organizations in India. Through these trusts, Tata Sons gives away on average between 8 to 14 percent of its net profit every year.

New Principles

The Golden Rule: Would I want people to do this to me?

The Fairness Test: Who might be affected and how? Is this fair to everyone?

The ‘What if everybody did this?’ Test: Would I want everyone to do this? Would I want to live in that kind of world?

The Consequences Test: Would I regret doing this?

Strategies of TATA • The TATA group restructuring involved

various steps such as building Tata Brand, Reviving its managerial recruitment and retaining practices (through,reviving TAS), changing the portfolio of business lines, and most importantly making the group more cohesive and controllable.

• An increased complexity in the cross holdings among group companies is a classic counter takeover defense strategy.

• As we see that TATA group companies have increased their investment in other group companies at a rapid pace compared to the slow rise in their dividend payments.

• An increase in the cross holding structure of group companies combined structure s provided a mechanism for the TATA group to control firms within the group without necessarily having significant equity investment. We found that the group has indeed achieved higher control.
