Who are Leah Tata and Maya Tata? Who Joined Board of Tata Industrial Institute

Leah and Maya Tata, the daughters of Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata, have been inducted onto the board of trustees of the Sir Ratan Tata Industrial Institute (SRTII), a key subset of Sir Ratan Tata Trust. The trust is one of the two principal shareholders of Tata Sons, the holding company of the Tata Group.

Replacing Arnaz Kotwal and Freddy Talati

With the induction of Leah and Maya, they have replaced Arnaz Kotwal and Freddy Talati, who have stepped down from their roles as trustees of the SRTII. This move marks an important step as Noel Tata’s children now hold positions on the boards of all the smaller Tata Trusts, though they have not yet been inducted into the two main ones – Sir Ratan Tata Trust and Allied Trusts, and Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Allied Trusts.

Leah and Maya Tata are part of the next generation of the Tata family, alongside their brother Neville. Their father, Noel Tata, took over as Chairman of Tata Trusts following the passing of Ratan Tata in October 2024. Noel also serves on the board of Tata Sons.
