BusinessNoel Tata's Quiet Role and Tata Sons' Trusts Control
Noel Tata, often called the quiet Tata, stayed largely in the background while his half-brother Ratan Naval Tata led the $185-billion Tata Group until his death in 2024. Despite Noel's successful role in Tata businesses like Trent Limited, he was not appointed as a trustee on major Tata trusts controlling 66% of Tata Sons until 2019. The trusts hold a majority stake, with Sir Dorabjee and Sir Ratan Tata Trusts owning over 51.5%.
