Saurabh Agrawal, Bhaskar Bhat enter Tata Sons board

Holding company board has four group executives, seven outsiders

Tata Sons has said that it has elevated its group chief financial officer, Saurabh Agrawal, and Titan Company’s managing director Bhaskar Bhat to its board of directors.

The announcement comes a couple of months after group veteran Ishaat Hussain retired from the board of Tata Sons and other group companies in early September on turning 70. Hussain was also finance director of Tata Sons and it was expected that Agrawal would join the board following Hussain’s retirement. 

“The board will benefit from the tremendous experience and knowledge of these professionals in multiple domains,” said N Chandrasekaran, chairman, Tata Sons.
