The next chairman of Tata Sons will inherit a group that is financially stronger and more diversified than it was a decade ago, but also one that carries a few expensive bets whose returns could still be years away.
Three businesses in particular -- Air India, Tata Electronics and Tata Digital -- are likely to demand close attention from the new leadership. Together, these newer ventures reported losses of nearly Rs 29,000 crore in the last financial year, ToI reported a day after N Chandrasekaran decided to step down as Tata Sons chairman.
