Will Tata Empire Split in to Two ?

Ratan Tata has , recently ,returned as Chairman Tata Sons. He again faces the same No. 1 challenge as he faced when he first took charge as the Tata chief 1991- to reign in   chiefs of the various Tata Companies. The chiefs had a tendency to grow more powerful and independent for Tata Sons' comfort.

In 1991 , it was Rusi Mody in Tata Steel, Darbari Seth in Tata Chemicals , Ajit Kelkar in Indian Hotels etc

Ratan Tata rose to the occasion.  SATRAPS , as they were then called in corporate jargon were neutralised and the writ of the paent Tata Sons was made to run supreme. 

In 2016 , again , Tata Sons may have felt uncomfortable about losing their supreme role.

Companies in the fore , being mentioned , are Indian Hotels , Tata Chemicals .

But this this time Ratan Tata 's task is not as simple.

 ( a )He , now , has to contend with two financially Juggernaut  fellow Parsi families of Pallonji Mistry and Nusli Wadia ( of Bombay Dyeing group ).

( b )Pro- active mindset of the minority public shareholders with Internet / E Voting etc.

The parallels with Mughal times are striking ( block buster Mughl-e- Azam movie was produced by Cyrus Mistry 's father )  .

Mughal's Central authority was centred around Agra/ Delhi. Mughl-e-azam , Akbar represented the centripetal forces and his writ reigned supreme.

Mughals after Aurangzeb saw the rise of centrifugal forces. Erstwhile governors of Bengal , Deccan ( Nizam ) were becoming independent.

Tata s are , also ,facing the challenge of controlling individual Tata Companies with small ( below 50% equity

Probably , they have yet to shed off completely their mind sets of Managing Agency times .

Cyrus Mistry , it seems , represented the present times when , for example , it is more important to first share informationwith SEBI / Stock Exchanges than with Bombay House.
