Billionaire <keyword id="19916798" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani" source="keywords">Mukesh Ambani</keyword>'s Reliance Industries and <keyword id="19924335" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tata-Group" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Tata Group" meta.hostid="153" meta.entityid="Tata Group">Tata Group</keyword> have made it to the prestigious TIME's list of 100 World's Most Influential Companies of 2024. TIME called Reliance 'India's Juggernaut'. This is the second time that Reliance has found its way into the TIME list. Jio Platforms, the firm that holds digital properties of the conglomerate, was included in the inaugural TIME 100 Most Influential Companies List of 2021. Serum Institute is the other Indian company on the list. TIME listed Reliance in the 'Titans' category (one of the five categories under which the companies were divided, other being Leaders, Disrupters, Innovators, and Pioneers). Tata was listed in 'Titan's' category while Serum under 'Pioneers'. "Reliance Industries was founded as a textile and polyester company 58 years ago by Dhirubhai Ambani. Today the sprawling conglomerate -- which has aligned its growth with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for a 'self-reliant' India -- is the country's most valuable company, with a market capitalisation of more than USD 200 billion," TIME said. Now led by Dhirubhai's son Mukesh, the Mumbai-based company has ventures in energy, retail, and telecommunications, among others, and has made its chairman Asia's richest man, it said. The publication went on to stated that in February, Reliance came out on top in a fiercely competitive race to dominate India's burgeoning streaming market by striking a USD 8.5 billion merger deal with Disney's India business. "The deal will bring together more than 100 television channels and give the combined group around a 31 per cent share of India's streaming market compared to rivals Netflix and Amazon Prime with 8 per cent each," according to analytics firm Comscore. Reliance has revolutionised several economic sectors in the world's most populous country by making world-class products and services available at affordable prices with multiple innovations. Under Mukesh Ambani, the firm's telecom arm Jio revolutionised India's digital landscape and drove digital inclusion on an unprecedented scale with the most affordable mobile data tariffs in the world. It set up the world's largest single location refining complex. Reliance Retail is ranked among the top 100 retailers globally and in FY24 it registered 1.06 billion footfalls across its 18,800+ stores (67 per cent of which are in small towns and villages). Reliance is investing USD 10 billion in building the most comprehensive ecosystem for new energy and new materials in India and has set an ambitious goal to reach net-zero carbon by 2035. TIME described Serum as the world's biggest vaccine maker, churning out billions of vaccines. The company makes 3.5 billion doses every year, including for measles, polio, and most recently, HPV. "Serum's CEO Adar Poonawalla says the company's success can largely be chalked up to its private ownership. Not being beholden to shareholders allows it to keep vaccine prices low (the R21 will cost USD 4 a shot)," the publication said. Tata Group, it said, was founded in 1868 and has a vast portfolio extending from steel, software, watches, subsea cables, and chemicals, to salt, grains, air-conditioners, fashion, and hotels. "But as rivals have aggressively courted new businesses, it struggled to keep up with stiff competition. In 2017, after over a century of family management, N Chandrasekaran took over as chairman despite having no personal ties to the family -- highly unusual when India's business landscape is ruled by family succession plans," TIME said. As chair, he has transformed the group by investing in tech manufacturing, AI, and semiconductor chips. In 2023, it became the first Indian company to assemble iPhones, and is building another plant, it said, adding that in September, Tata announced a partnership with Nvidia to develop an AI cloud in India. "And this year, it announced plans for the country's first major semiconductor manufacturing facility. The moves seem to be paying off: in February, Tata's combined market capitalisation reached a whopping USD 365 billion, more than the entire economy of India's neighbour and rival, Pakistan," it added. This is the fourth edition of annual TIME100 Most Influential Companies list, highlighting companies making an extraordinary impact around the world. To assemble the list, TIME solicited nominations across sectors, and polled its global network of contributors and correspondents, as well as outside experts. Then, TIME editors evaluated each on key factors, including impact, innovation, ambition, and success. The result is a diverse group of 100 businesses helping chart an essential path forward.

In a <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/not-pursuing-chairmans-post-but-will-protect-rights-as-a-minority-shareholder-says-cyrus-mistry/articleshow/73108886.cms">statement</a> on Sunday, Mistry declared that he wasn't looking to be chairman again — he just wants a seat on the board. He wants a seat to ensure that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/cyrus-mistry-still-has-to-prove-the-charges-against-ratan-tata-and-tata-sons-board/articleshow/72868673.cms">minority shareholder rights</a> are met. He noted that the petitions filed to the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/tata-sons-to-mention-in-sc-plea-against-nclat-decision-restoring-cyrus-mistry-as-executive-chairman/articleshow/73109963.cms">Supreme Court</a> by TCS, Tata Teleservices and Tata Services last week were just another example of Tata Sons pushing their weight around. "To dispel the misinformation campaign being conducted, recent media reports attributed to Ratan Tata and others questioning the NCLAT judgment ahead of an important hearing in the Supreme Court, profess an interpretation of corporate democracy as being one of brute majoritarianism with no rights for minority stakeholders," <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/not-pursuing-chairmans-post-but-will-protect-rights-as-a-minority-shareholder-says-cyrus-mistry/articleshow/73108886.cms">Mistry</a> explained. What's the big deal about minority shareholder rights? A minority shareholder is anyone who has less than 50% shares of a company. While they cannot exercise control over the corporation they're still entitled to a few legal rights as per the Companies Act. For instance, majority shareholders are bound by a fiduciary duty to act in the company's best interests and in compliance with the shareholders' agreement. Something that Mistry believes was violated by Tata Sons. "This legal fight has never been about me. It has always been and will always be about protecting the rights of minority shareholders and upholding their right to demand a higher standard of corporate governance from controlling shareholders," he said. Cyrus Mistry vs Tata Sons Cyrus Mistry has been battling Tata Sons since he was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/cyrus-mistry-can-return-as-tata-sons-chairman-three-years-after-he-was-thrown-out-by-ratan-tata/articleshow/72868406.cms">ousted as chairman</a> of the company back in 2013. Last month, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/cyrus-mistry-net-worth-and-full-profile/articleshow/72870160.cms">NCLAT</a>) court ultimately ruled in his favour calling his dismissal ‘illegal' At the time, Tata Sons issued a statement saying that the decision would not hold. "It is not clear how the NCLAT order seeks to over-rule the decisions taken by shareholders of Tata Sons and listed Tata operating companies at validly constituted shareholder meetings," the company's spokesperson told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/tata-sons-says-the-court-gave-cyrus-mistry-more-than-he-wanted/articleshow/72872657.cms">Business Insider.</a> Last week, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/now-tcs-moves-supreme-court-against-nclat-order-reinstating-mistry-as-director/articleshow/73098971.cms">TCS, Tata Teleservices and Tata Trusts</a> all filed a petition with the Supreme Court asking for a stay on the Mistry's reinstatement. As per the NCLAT order, Mistry is supposed to return as chairman of Tata Sons at the end of this month. Even <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/ratan-tata-moves-sc-against-nclat-order-reinstating-mistry-as-tata-sons-chairman/articleshow/73082993.cms">Ratan Tata</a>, Tata Sons' chairman emeritus, approached the Supreme Court asking it to quash the NCLAT's order stating that he acted against the interest of shareholders. "I am humbled by the NCLAT order, which after review of the enormous material on record, recognized the illegal manner in which I was removed and the oppressive and prejudicial conduct of Mr.Tata and other Trustees," Mistry <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/not-pursuing-chairmans-post-but-will-protect-rights-as-a-minority-shareholder-says-cyrus-mistry/articleshow/73108886.cms">told reporters</a> on Sunday. He clarified that he isn't looking to reinstate himself as the executive chairman of any of the Tata companies. He is, however, demanding a seat on the board. "I will, however, vigorously pursue all options to protect our rights as a minority shareholder, including that of resuming the thirty-year history of a seat at the Board of Tata Sons and the incorporation of the highest standards of corporate governance and transparency at Tata Sons," Mistry explained.

Cyrus Mistry says he's fighting the Tatas for 'rights' but not the chairman's seat

<ul><li>The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) ruled that Cryus Mistry’s removal as <keyword id="3932388" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chairman-of-Tata-Sons">chairman of Tata Sons</keyword> was illegal.</li><li><keyword id="46894" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tata-Sons">Tata Sons</keyword> has four weeks to appeal the decision at Supreme Court.</li><li>The NCLAT order appears to even go beyond the specific reliefs sought by Mistry, the Tata Sons statement said</li></ul>The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) ruled that <keyword id="6356895" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="cyrus-mistry">Cyrus Mistry</keyword>’s <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/cyrus-mistry-can-return-as-tata-sons-chairman-three-years-after-he-was-thrown-out-by-ratan-tata/articleshow/72868406.cms">removal as chairman from Tata Sons was illegal</a> and has directed the company to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/cyrus-mistry-net-worth-and-full-profile/articleshow/72870160.cms">hand him back his position</a>. However, the court has a left window of four weeks for Tata Sons to appeal at the Supreme Court. As it seems right now, the salt-to-software conglomerate, which also owns companies like the luxury car maker Jaguar Land Rover and the British tea brand Tetley is in no mood to give up. "It is not clear as to how the NCLAT Order seeks to over-rule the decisions taken by shareholders of Tata Sons and listed Tata operating companies at validly constituted shareholder meetings. The NCLAT order appears to even go beyond the specific reliefs sought by the Appellant," the company’s spokesperson told Business Insider. But Mistry sees this as a clear win. "Today's victory is not a personal victory for me, but is a victory for the principles of good governance and minority shareholder rights," he said a statement shared with the press. The Tata vs Mistry battle is far from over Within two months of his dismissal, Mistry’s family-run investment firms approached the NCLT. Mistry’s primary argument was that his removal as chairman of Tata Sons violated the Companies Act by forcing him to leave without ‘due process’ being followed and also accused the Board of ‘oppression and mismanagement’. While the lower court, the NCLT, had turned down Mistry’s appeal, today’s victory at the appellate tribunal gives Mistry a second chance to prove his charges against the Board and Ratan Tata. "The outcome of the appeal is a vindication of my stand taken when the board of Tata Sons, without warning or reason removed me, first as executive chairman, and subsequently as director of Tata Sons," he said. One of India’s biggest corporate disputes may be tested at the country’s highest court soon.

As Mistry returns to power, the current executive chairman of the company — N Chandra — might have to look for a new job. Mistry served as Tata Sons chairman just shy of four years before the board removed him from the helm in October 2016. His net worth is currently at $10 billion. Here’s a quick look at Mistry’s journey from being the son of a construction tycoon to leading Tata Sons a second time:

10 things you need to know about Cyrus Mistry

<ul><li>In his four year tenure as a chairman, <keyword id="6356895" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cyrus-Mistry" source="Orion">Cyrus Mistry</keyword> was known to maintain a very low profile. </li><li>Cyrus <keyword id="6391150" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="mistry" source="Orion">Mistry</keyword>’s father Pallonji Mistry who passed away th<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/pallonji-mistry-the-elusive-but-powerful-phantom-of-bombay-house/articleshow/92511725.cms">is June, was known as the Phantom of Bombay H</a>ouse. </li><li>In 2016, Cyrus Mistry was unceremoniously removed as the chairman without giving reasons and he was no more low profile. </li><li>Mistry called his removal from chairmanship ‘unique in history’.</li></ul>During his four-year tenure as the chairman of <keyword id="46894" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="tata-sons" source="Orion">Tata Sons</keyword>, Cyrus Mistry had earned a nickname – ‘the most low profile man with the most high profile job’. After all he came from a family, which is known to zealously protect its privacy. His father Pallonji Mistry who passed away th<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/pallonji-mistry-the-elusive-but-powerful-phantom-of-bombay-house/articleshow/92511725.cms">is June, was known as the Phantom of Bombay H</a>ouse for the power he used to wield at the Tata group headquarters and was barely ever seen or heard. If the course ran smooth, Cyrus too would have remained so but in 2016, he was unceremoniously removed as the chairman without giving reasons and he was no more low profile. In a bitter boardroom coup, Mistry was asked to step down and when he refused, he was unceremoniously removed by the board of directors. Subsequently he was forced to step down from boards of other Tata companies too. His removal led to one of the ugliest battles that corporate India had ever seen. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="‘Unique in history’" comment="subhead" text="‘Unique in history’">‘Unique in history’</cmsannotation> Mistry called his removal from chairmanship ‘unique in history’. In addition to questioning many business decisions saying that five companies of Tata group had writedowns that accounted to $18 billion; he also questioned the deal with Air Asia which is known to have made fraudulent transactions. “We managed to raise awareness among stakeholders of the challenges in governance and ethics in the group. These were tough messages that had to be sent for the long term interest of the group,” he told <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinion/interviews/i-have-a-lifetime-ahead-of-me-but-my-fight-continues-cyrus-mistry/articleshow/56073727.cms?from=mdr">ET in an interview right after he </a>was removed as the chairman. He had accused Ratan Tata of inappropriate intervention and Mistry was pushed to become a ‘lame duck chairman’. The case, as expected, went to court and after a string of shocking twists and turns, the Supreme Court passed an order for the Tata group, after which Mistry filed review petitions and they too were set aside by the country’s highest judicial authority. Mistry, however, never did believe it to be a short-term fight. “I have a lifetime ahead of me and my fight will go on,” he had said. If only, that were true. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Mistry’s Clementine mirror" comment="subhead" text="Mistry’s Clementine mirror">Mistry’s Clementine mirror</cmsannotation> Cyrus Mistry is survived by wife Rohiqa Mistry and two sons Firoz and Zahan. Rohiqa is the daughter of one of Mumbai’s famous lawyers Iqbal Chagla. The unusually quiet Mistry once spoke in an interview on the Tata website of her role in life. He called her a <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/my-wife-does-not-hesitate-to-disagree-with-me-tata-groupscyrus-mistry/articleshow/54399682.cms?from=mdr">Clementine mirror who never shies</a> away from disagreeing with him. He compared her to Winston Churchill’s wife Clementine who had once famously pointed out the errors in the judgment of the war-time hero and Prime Minister of England during its darkest hours. Mistry’s elder brother Shapoor is the sole owner of the Shapoorji Pallonji group, which is known for its construction business in India and the Middle East. The group had also owned Eureka Forbes which was sold to a private equity fund in 2021. Mistry’s friend and NCP Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule who is his friend, calls him an exceptionally hard-working person, who always puts his best foot forward. The golf loving Mistry too had admitted, during his tenure as Tata Sons chairman, that he has done a bad job of work life balance. However, immediately after his exit, the first thing he did even before he took the legal recourse, was to go on a holiday. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Timeline of events of Mistry-Tata case" comment="subhead" text="Timeline of events of Mistry-Tata case">Timeline of events of Mistry-Tata case</cmsannotation> 2011: Cyrus Mistry is appointed as the deputy chairman of Tata Sons. 2012: Cyrus Mistry takes over as the chairman of Tata Sons, as Ratan Tata becomes the chairman emeritus. 2016: Tata Sons removes Cyrus Mistry as the chairman and reinstates Ratan Tata as the interim chairman.

A bench headed by Chief Justice S.A. Bobde said all questions of law are in favour of Tata Group and dismissed the appeals filed by Mistry. The top court upheld the Tata Sons decision to sack Cyrus Mistry on October 24, 2016. <keyword id="6371516" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="shapoorji-pallonji">Shapoorji Pallonji</keyword> Group counsel had argued that Mistry was removed because he was going to place a draft governance structure at the Board meeting on October 24, 2016. "We find all the questions of law are liable to be answered in favour of the appellants (Tata Group) and the appeals filed by the Tata Group are liable to be allowed and Shapoorji Pallonji group is liable to be dismissed," said the top court. The top court said the value of SP Group shares will depend on the valuation by Tata Sons equities and the court will not determine the fair value. In December 2019, the NCLAT had ruled that the proceedings of the Board meeting of Tata Sons held on October 24, 2016 removing Cyrus Mistry as chairperson was illegal. The Mistry family, which runs SP Group, owns an 18.4 per cent stake in Tata Sons.

Tata Sons picks shares worth over Rs 356 cr in Tata Motors DVR, Tata Power, Tata Steel

Ousted <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Tata+Sons&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Tata Sons</a>’ chairman <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Cyrus+Mistry&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Cyrus Mistry</a> has now moved a petition at the <keyword id="6396354" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="National-Company-Law-Appellate-Tribunal">National Company Law Appellate Tribunal</keyword>. This move made by Mistry is to clear his position of maintainability of the case and stall <keyword id="46894" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Tata-Sons">Tata Sons</keyword> shareholders meeting, which is to be held on February 6 and is called to vote out Mistry from the board. 
 <keyword id="6396355" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="NCLAT">NCLAT</keyword> judges, however, did not pass an order on Tata Sons shareholder meeting on Feb 6 and clear its position of maintainability of the case before starting his arguments on the main petition, so that he could appeal against any adverse decision. 
 
Recently, hearing of the petition filed by Mistry's family firms against Tata Sons was adjourned for two weeks by NCLAT at the request of Mistry's counsel C Aryama Sundaram. 
 
According to the two-member bench comprising of B.S.V. Prakash Kumar and V. Nallasenapathy, Mistry firms' refusal to argue the main petition was disobedience of the court. The judge has called the next hearing on Feb 13 and 14. 
 
"The roadmap of the hearing was already laid out of Dec 22, 2016 and Jan 18, 2017. There was time in between but the petitioner had not appealed on any order. It was obvious that matters had been dealt with. Therefore the argument is unmeritorious. Hope that the petitioner (Mistry firms) will argue after two weeks, failing which the petition will stand dismissed," Justice Kumar told ET. 
 
Mistry’s counsel- Sundaram wanted the NCLT judges to pass an order on <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Tata+Sons+shareholder&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Tata Sons shareholder</a> meeting on Feb 6 and clear its position of maintainability of the case before starting his arguments on the main petition, so that he could appeal against any adverse decision. 
 
"We were very particular that an order should be passed on it either way rather than keep it pending, otherwise Feb 6th will come and go," Sundaram told the press on Tuesday after the hearing. "Now we may want to take other remedies against the order and that is why we asked for an adjournment. Today the bench indicated that the interim application (against holding Tata Sons shareholder meeting) was refused and rejected."
