Venu Srinivasan has been reappointed as a lifetime trustee of Tata Trusts, before his current term ends on October 23, 2025. This decision was made unanimously by the trustees of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Sir Ratan Tata Trust, two of the main philanthropic arms of the Tata Group.
Srinivasan, who is the Chairman Emeritus of the TVS Group, has been an important figure in Tata Trusts for many years. His lifetime reappointment highlights his key role and influence in the organiation. It also reflects the tradition of granting lifetime tenures to trustees at Tata Trusts.
The decision comes amid reports of internal differences within Tata Trusts, between groups aligned with current Chairman Noel Tata and those loyal to the late Ratan Tata. With Srinivasan’s reappointment now settled, attention is turning to Mehli Mistry, another trustee whose term ends on October 28, 2025. Discussions about Mistry’s reappointment are expected to be more complex due to differing opinions within the board.
