Book Summary

Authored by financial journalist Deepali Gupta, this 272-page narrative chronicles the dramatic corporate saga surrounding the succession at Tata Sons, India’s iconic conglomerate. In December 2012, Ratan Tata retired after two decades as chairman, passing the torch to Cyrus Mistry, scion of the Shapoorji Pallonji family—Tata Sons’ second-largest shareholder (~18 %) .

The book meticulously reconstructs the events leading to Mistry’s abrupt removal by the board in October 2016 during a tense meeting that included Ratan Tata himself. Through extensive research—interviews, board minutes, court filings, emails—the narrative reveals the friction points: strategic disagreements over businesses like Corus, Tata Nano, Tata Docomo, and AirAsia; corporate governance issues; and the complex role of Tata Trusts, which control the majority stake in Tata Sons .

Gupta presents a balanced, fast-paced account—part legal drama, part corporate thriller—avoiding sensationalism while probing psychological and organizational dynamics: the clash between Mistry’s vision and longstanding Tata family culture .
