Ratan Tata Takes Credit, Cyrus Mistry Shares Credit the Tata Sons Ratan Tata takes credit, Cyrus Mistry shares credit The Tata Sons statement of 10th November 2016 insinuated that Mr. Cyrus Mistry had made no “material contributions” to the success of TCS and JLR, which the statement implied were a manifestation of Mr. Ratan Tata’s personal vision and efforts. Mr. Mistry would like to place on record that while TCS and JLR justifiably receive a lot of media attention, the group’s portfolio has extraordinary breadth. Companies like Tata Chemicals, Tata Elxsi, TGBL, Titan, and Voltas, to name just a few, are all leaders in their respective fields. It has always been Mr. Mistry’s belief that the primary credit for the financial and market share success of the group companies rests with the leadership teams, and more importantly, the commitment of the thousands of employees who work tirelessly to drive these results. TCS TCS had in Mr. F.C. Kohli a visionary founding CEO. Today, Mr. N Chandrasekaran continues to provide strong and able leadership. Chandra, his leadership team, and the nearly 350,000 TCS employees have made us proud. Over the last 4 years, the TCS leadership team has engaged well, and complemented, the Board. In his role as non-executive Chairman, Mr. Mistry’s primary involvement with TCS has been focused on future-proofing TCS strategy and helping fortify their relationships at the C Suite level by leveraging the strength of the Tata Group. The high dependence on TCS in the Tata Sons portfolio is a well-known fact. This was repeatedly flagged in strategy presentations to the Tata Sons Board by Mr. Mistry. Apart from strengthening other group companies, Mr. Mistry maintained that keeping TCS strong and relevant is critical. For TCS to flourish, it was vital that TCS transformed from an IT solutions provider to a strategic partner because the digital imperative had become a strategic differentiator for many organizations. Consequently, the client relationship needed to move from engaging with the CIO (with whom traditionally Indian IT company CEOs maintained their relationship) to the CEO. As Chairman of Tata Sons and Tata Consultancy Services, Mr. Mistry’s access to senior stakeholders across the world was an enabling platform. Over the last 3 years, Mr. Mistry met at least 60 global CEOs, some along with TCS leadership, to reinforce the capabilities of TCS for organizations to co-innovate in the digital world. The results of TCS over the past 3 years when examined with respect to the profile of clients demonstrates the power of this strategy (see Table). FY FY FY FY FY FY Clients 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 $100 M 8 14 16 24 29 37 $50 M 27 43 48 53 68 73 $20 M 81 99 115 136 162 173 $10 M 143 170 196 231 261 298 $5 M 208 245 277 354 389 429 $1 M 458 522 556 714 791 829 Just last year, TCS had undertaken one of the largest skill upgradation programs in corporate history. Over 135,000 people have been trained to be ready for the new digital world. TCS joint venture in Japan and industry leading growth in Europe are all part of a longer term strategy to ensure resilience. A more globally balanced portfolio of business makes TCS robust by hedging against ongoing geo political risk. Several opportunities lie ahead. The board and the management explored cyber security, health, bio informatics and deep learning. Acquisition of companies with capabilities in these spaces and others required TCS to have available a reservoir of cash. Hence, one of the first items for Mr. Mistry on his joining the TCS Board was to focus the management on reducing the gap between profits and cash. Mr. Chandrasekaran and his team responded splendidly, improving the cash conversion cycle from 49% in 2012 to 92% in 2015. The improved performance enabled TCS to declare a special dividend without compromising firepower for acquisitions. Cash and cash equivalents doubled over the same period to Rs. 20,500 crores. Over the past 3 years, Mr. Mistry attended TCS customer summits in USA and Europe. In addition, he engaged with employees at TCS centers located in Pune, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and the USA. In the past three months, he engaged with the TCS’s Innovation and Design Centre at Santa Clara, USA, reviewed the TCS health care partnership with the University of California, Berkeley, and worked with the TCS Canada leadership team in Toronto. Mr. Mistry was supposed to spend two days in late November with the TCS Japan team to attend their customer summit in Japan and help emphasize the Tata Group’s long term commitment to Japan. Based on his many touch points with the company’s stakeholders, the TCS leadership team, and his interactions with the young associates, Mr. Mistry is confident that the best is yet to come for TCS. JLR Like TCS, JLR is fortunate to benefit from the strong leadership of Mr. Ralf Speth and his leadership team, who lead the highly committed JLR employees. JLR is one of the strong performers for the group today. The significant efforts of Mr. Ravi Kant, former Vice Chairman of Tata Motors, who virtually camped overseas to see the integration through and lead the transformation, too deserves special mention. JLR is at a critical juncture. The decisions taken today will decide its future resilience. The company faces many challenges, but also many opportunities. JLR strategy under Mr. Mistry’s Chairmanship has been to achieve scale as well as minimize currency and supply chain risks by investing in new facilities. Its lack of scale required it to invest disproportionately compared to the industry in new technologies that will help meet the regulatory requirements and differentiate its products. This has been done without leveraging the balance sheet and retaining adequate liquidity. The result is a stronger company that will reward the shareholders more consistently in the future. Mr. Mistry has also been closely associated with JLR, its strategy meetings and design reviews. Between 2012-16, Mr. Mistry spent over 120 days including 38 days on JLR design review, 56 days on offsite strategy meetings as well as market visits to dealers in China, USA, and India. The above does not include the time devoted to board and budget meetings. Why this note? Ideally, a leader must not need to quote such data in defense. Yet, it is important to set the record straight since insinuations and leaks are being made explicitly to create an illusion that Mr. Mistry was a “hands off” Chairman and TCS/JLR were on “auto-pilot” during his leadership. While Tata Sons, under the leadership of Mr. Ratan Tata, is busy apportioning credit and blame for the performance of operating companies, Mr. Mistry wishes to place on record his appreciation for the hard work done by the leadership teams of those companies, who in Mr. Tata’s opinion have shown less than stellar performance - the “hotspots”. Full credit must go to the men and women who have tirelessly worked to turn around legacy issues and build a future that we can all be proud of. One man’s ego versus an institution It is common knowledge that the decision to acquire Corus for over USD 12 billion, when only a year earlier it was available at less than half that price, was based on one man’s ego and against the reservations of some board members and senior executives. The overpayment made it harder to invest in the acquired assets which had been neglected, and thereby, placed many jobs at risk. Similarly, in November 2003, Mr. Tata, against the advice of many of his own team members, decided to back CDMA as the platform for the group’s telecom business. This “strategic” decision has led to a series of consequences that currently leave the company structurally challenged. Once again, one person’s judgment adversely affected the jobs of thousands. When one talks about vision and near death experiences, it is worth recounting a little known fact. Midway during the TCS journey to date, Mr. F. C. Kohli was suffering from a cardiac condition. Mr. Ratan Tata was then heading Tata Industries’ joint venture with IBM and approached Mr. JRD Tata with a proposal from IBM to buyout TCS. Mr. JRD Tata refused to discuss the deal because Mr. F. C. Kohli was still recovering in the hospital from his setback. On his return, Mr. Kohli assured JRD that TCS had a bright future and the group should not sell the company. JRD Tata turned down the offer, demonstrating true vision. But, it was also a near- death experience for TCS at the hands of Mr. Ratan Tata. .

    C:\Users\Firdoshktolat\Documents\Interesting\Tatas\Tata Sons - Passing The Baton.Docx TATA SONS: PASSING THE BATON By Jehangir Pocha The author is the co-promoter of INX News This article appeared in Forbes India Magazine of 16 December, 2011 http://forbesindia.com/article/boardroom/tata-sons-passing-the-baton/31052/0#ixzz1k4cATEGO There's a continuing thread of history in Cyrus Mistry's appointment as Ratan Tata's successor. But the move is also testimony to Tata's professionalism and sincerity. The passing of a crown is always a delicate affair. In 1991, when J.R.D. Tata handed his to Ratan Naval Tata, his courtiers had rebelled. It took time for RNT to subdue the satraps and prove JRD’s decision on his successor was perhaps his finest. But then JRD was always renowned for his ability to pick men. The circumstances around anointing RNT’s successor exactly two decades later were rather different. The world and the Tata’s had changed. It would take more than an arbitrary announcement from RNT to achieve a smooth succession in what is now one of the world’s largest conglomerates. So, if Cyrus P. Mistry is the first Tata head to have been crowned by a committee rather than a King, and the first from outside India Inc.’s first family, it is a testament to Tatas’ ability to move with the times. Yet, to those who know Tatas and its history, there is also no doubt that there is a continuing thread of history in Mistry’s appointment. Ties between the Mistry and Tata families have been close — and contentious — ever since 1936 when Cyrus’s grandfather Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry bought 17.5% of Tatas’ main holding company, Tata Sons.

  • NCLAT's Order
    NCLAT’s Order - Reinstating Cyrus Mistry Why in news? The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) reinstated Cyrus Mistry as Chairman of Tata Sons and Director of the Tata Group of companies for the remainder of his tenure. Who is Cyrus Mistry? Cyrus Mistry, son of Pallonji Mistry, is the owner of Shapoorji Pallonji group and the biggest stakeholder in the Tata group. Mistry was the sixth chairman of Tata Sons and had taken over in 2012 after Ratan Tata. Relations were seen as amicable between Mistry and Tata. However, after differences of opinions with group patriarch Ratan Tata, Mistry was ousted as both Chairman and Director in October 2016. This was done in a surprise move by the Tata Sons board. Mistry later moved the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The Mumbai bench had upheld Mistry’s removal from his positions at Tata Sons and other Group companies. What is NCLAT’s decision? The appellate tribunal, NCLAT held Mistry’s sacking and the subsequent appointment of N Chandrasekaran to the top post at Tata Sons illegal. The move to take Tata Sons private has also been declared illegal and reversed. NCLAT set aside the 2017 order by the Mumbai bench of the NCLT. The current NCLAT order included directions on several major questions of corporate governance. Article 75 of the Articles of Association of the Tata Group grants Tata Sons the right to transfer the ‘ordinary shares’ of any shareholder. This can be done bypassing a special resolution in the presence of nominated directors of Tata Trusts. The NCLAT has barred Tata Sons from taking any action against Mistry, Shapoorji Pallonji, Cyrus Investments, and other minority shareholders under this provision.
