Cyrus P. Mistry, a scion of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, who went on to head the sprawling Tata Group as chairman of the holding company Tata Sons for four years before his sudden ouster in 2016, died in a car accident on Sunday.
Mistry, 54, is survived by his wife Rohiqa and two sons.
The youngest son of the late construction tycoon Pallonji Mistry, Mistry, was handpicked by Ratan Tata to succeed him and assumed charge of the Tata Group in 2012, on Mr. Tata’s retirement.
