What happened
Documents indicate that a company establishing a warehouse project in Tamil Nadu has ties to the Tata Group. The chairman-emeritus of the company, Venu Srinivasan, was reportedly aware of this external relationship but allegedly failed to update the Tata Sons board about it, which could be a violation of the Tata Code of Conduct.
