New Delhi: The Tata Group is not facing a business crisis. Its companies continue to operate across technology, automobiles, steel, aviation, retail and consumer products. Its bigger problem is now who gets to decide the group’s future. Chandrasekaran, chairman of Tata Sons, is set to step down when his current term ends in February 2027. His departure has turned the question of succession into one of India’s biggest corporate governance stories. At the centre of the issue is Noel Tata. Noel, chairman of Tata Trusts, became one of the group’s most powerful figures following Ratan Tata’s death in 2024. Tata…

New Delhi: Mark Zuckerberg’s relationship with India has gone through several very different phases. More than a decade ago, Meta was trying to convince Indians to get online through Free Basics. Today, the company is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in Indian fintech, building AI infrastructure with Reliance and expanding WhatsApp into payments, business and commerce. The latest move is perhaps the biggest signal yet. In June 2026, Meta announced a $900 million investment in Indian fintech company CRED, valuing the startup at around $4.5 billion. At the same time, CRED founder Kunal Shah was tapped to lead WhatsApp…

New Delhi: Adani Enterprises has emerged as the best-performing stock on the Nifty 50 index in 2026, marking a significant turnaround for the flagship company of billionaire Gautam Adani.

Greg Abel became Berkshire Hathaway’s CEO at the beginning of 2026, following Buffett’s retirement from the chief executive role.
