N Chandrasekaran to lead Tata Sons: Why a marathoner was chosen for the top job firstpost.com

The new Tata Sons’ boss seems to embody the tagline of his former employer Tata Consultancy Services, which says ‘Experience Certainty’. N Chandrasekaran, the next executive chairman of Tata Sons, started the race for the top job with at least two advantages: First, he is a Tata ‘Lifer’, starting his career with the group and rising through the ranks. And second, he has been often described as one of the most successful professional CEOs in India, steering the Tata Group’s crown jewel TCS to record profits and market leading performance.
