Chandrasekaran appointment came roughly three months after the former Chairman Cyrus Mistry was unceremoniously ousted. Chandrasekaran will take charge as chairman of the Tata Sons from February 21.

According to reports, the selection panel unanimously recommended Chandrasekaran as chairman. The panel comprised of interim Chairman Ratan Tata, TVS Group Chairman Venu Srinivasan, Bain Capital's Amit Chandra, Ronen Sen and Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya.

Tata Sons had abruptly removed Mistry as its Chairman on October 24 last year and sought his ouster from operating companies like Tata Motors and TCS. Mistry subsequently resigned from the board of six companies, but dragged Tata Sons and his interim successor Ratan Tata to the National Company Law Tribunal.
