Noel Tata has been unanimously appointed Chairperson of Tata Trust, the philanthropic arm of the Tata Group on Friday. This decision was made during a board meeting following the passing of Ratan Tata on Wednesday at the age of 86. Noel Tata, Ratan Tata’s half-brother, serves on the boards of several listed companies, including Tata Steel and Voltas. The decision to appoint Noel Tata as chairperson was made with Ratan Tata’s philosophy of ‘moving on’ in mind.
