One of the most signiἀcant developments of 2024 would have to be the passing of the baton of Tata Trusts to Noel N. Tata, half-brother of the iconic Ratan Tata. This change of guard after Ratan Tata’s demise is signiἀcant for a number of reasons. How will the Noel Tata approach play out? In our cover story, Nevin John pieces together what the new Tata Trusts chair-man’s vision would be, and how he could balance his dual roles. The cover story apart, there’s lots more to read in this issue. Ajita Shashidhar and Nevin John get you the implications of the new brand identity of the Jamshyd Godrej-led Godrej Enterprises Group, and how it is different from cousin Adi’s Godrej. And as the countdown to Budget 2025 begins, a stellar panel discusses the imperatives before finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman who will need to push growth while keeping fiscal prudence in mind. Also, as we enter the new year, our Best Investments package tells you the most productive avenues to put your money in. Here’s wishing you a happy and prosperous 2025!
