Tata Trusts propose A Strategic Reorganisation For Tata Sons Private Limited

Tata Trusts Refute Allegations On NRTT Share Transfer
* Proposed structure is compliant with applicable laws and maintains the operating structure of the House of Tatas

The Tata Trusts today, as majority shareholders with a 66% stake in Tata Sons Private Limited (TSPL), outlined a strategic reorganisation plan for the Company which, when given effect to, would ensure that the reorganised entity would neither be a ‘Non-Banking Financial Company’ (NBFC) nor a ‘Core Investment Company’ (CIC). The proposed reorganisation of TSPL essentially entails the merger of ‘Tata Electronics Systems Solutions Private Limited’ (TESS) and ‘Tata Consulting Engineers ‘(TCE) with TSPL.

The proposed strategic reorganization of the business and operations of TSPL is not a new pathway; TSPL

has, for almost 80 years out of its 100-year existence, always had operating businesses and operating revenues, which enabled it to fund its other, newer business ventures. To recall, as recently as 2004, Tata Consultancy Services was a business division of TSPL before it was demerged into a separate subsidiary.

This was also the case with other operating businesses of TSPL. Accordingly, the proposed reorganization will result in TSPL reverting to its previous operating model, with its own operations and revenues, in addition to being a holding company for the Tata Group. This will also be in line with the previous classification (after 2004) by RBI of TSPL as a “non-banking, non-financial company”.

The amalgamated entity, arising out of the merger of TESS and TCE with TSPL, shall have, as of March 31, 2026:

a. Operating revenues of INR 105,043 crores, far in excess of its income from financial assets (INR 40,072 crores) constituting 64.3% of the total income of the amalgamated entity;

b. Will not meet the “principal business criteria” of an NBFC and; 

c. Will also not meet the conditions applicable to a CIC (Net Assets aggregating INR 200,158 crores, out of which investment in Group Companies shall be INR 177,120 crores representing less than 90% of the aggregate net assets of the resultant entity).

An amalgamation of genuine operating, non-financial companies (such as TESS and TCE) with an NBFC (such as TSPL) will need to be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of the Reserve Bank of India (Non-Banking Financial Companies – Voluntary Amalgamation) Directions, 2025, including the requirement to obtain a prior ‘no objection certificate’ of the RBI. Given that TSPL will also cease to be a CIC upon the conclusion of the proposed reorganization, TSPL will require to surrender its certificate of registration.

The Tata Trusts believe that the proposed reorganization and action plan for compliance would be in the best interests of the Tata Group as well as its stakeholders, in addition to being a regulatory permissible and compliant form of reorganization of a CIC. The Tata Trusts have, accordingly, written to the TSPL Board to consider and approve the proposal, and to take necessary steps, including applying to the RBI for the necessary ‘no-objection certificate’ as required for the proposed merger and reorganisation of TSPL. The Tata Trusts, along with TSPL, will engage with the RBI on all aspects of the proposed reorganisation.

The proposed amalgamation and consequential steps are in line with regulatory compliance requirements and the unanimous resolutions passed by the Boards of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Sir Ratan Tata Trust in July 2025 wherein it was agreed that all endeavours should be made to ensure that the status of TSPL as an unlisted private company should continue. It also has the advantage of preserving the more than 100-year-old distinctive and unique organisational structure of the Group, which has always focussed on long term strategic initiatives geared towards nation building and the welfare of the disadvantaged and the excluded.

From Discarded Jeans To New Livelihoods: Meet Maharashtra’s 21-Year-Old Innovator Turning Denim Waste Into Opportunity

* From Discarded Jeans to New Livelihoods: Meet Maharashtra’s 21-Year-Old Innovator Turning Denim Waste into Opportunity

* Yogeeta Kishore’s initiative, Indiejeanous, transforms discarded denim and textile scraps into lifestyle products while creating livelihood opportunities for women artisans

* Selected among the Top 20 teams of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026, Yogeeta is now developing a prototype and preparing to take her idea beyond her community

* Mentorship, peer learning and expert feedback are helping the young Maharashtra innovator turn a personal mission into a potentially scalable venture

What if an old pair of jeans could stay out of a landfill—and help a woman earn a livelihood?

That is the idea driving 21-year-old Maharashtra innovator Yogeeta Kishore, who has spent the past year-and-a-half working to turn denim waste into opportunity.

Her initiative, Indiejeanous, transforms discarded denim and textile scraps into lifestyle products while creating livelihood opportunities for women artisans. Now selected among the Top 20 teams of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026, Yogeeta is working to develop a prototype and explore how her community-led idea can grow into a scalable venture.

For Yogeeta, the selection has marked a turning point.

“I am grateful to be a part of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow. Getting reviews and feedback has been amazing, and it feels like a great platform for young changemakers,” she said.

From Upcycling Waste to Building a Viable Solution

Before joining the programme’s bootcamp, Yogeeta’s approach was largely focused on giving discarded textiles a second life. Interactions with mentors, experts and fellow innovators encouraged her to examine the entire journey of textile waste—and think more closely about the people who would ultimately use or benefit from her solution.

“There is a huge difference in my idea. Earlier, we were only focused on upcycling, but now we are looking more deeply at how that waste can be utilised. We have also started prototyping,” Yogeeta said.

The experience helped her recognise that a meaningful idea must work not only environmentally, but also for its customers and the community it seeks to support.

“You have to understand the customer and make sure the solution genuinely addresses the community’s needs,” she added.

Presenting Indiejeanous before a jury and discussing it with young innovators from across India also expanded Yogeeta’s sense of what the initiative could become.

“When I presented my idea and shared it with my peers, I realised that I was not just solving a problem within my own community,” she said.

Finding the Confidence to Think Bigger

The most important change, however, has been personal.

Yogeeta says that building an idea largely by herself often left her questioning whether it could create real impact. At Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, she found a community of young people navigating similar challenges.

“When I talk to my peers, I feel that I am doing something real. I feel inspired and confident. Earlier, I was not so confident,” she said.

That sense of belonging has been particularly meaningful for Yogeeta, who says she did not always find the support she needed during the early stages of her journey.

“Having people around me who understand my idea feels empowering,” she said.

With access to mentorship, constructive feedback and potential grant support, Yogeeta is now refining the Indiejeanous model, developing its prototype and examining how it can generate measurable environmental and social impact.

What began with discarded denim in one community is steadily becoming something larger: a circular-economy idea capable of reducing textile waste, supporting women artisans and demonstrating how young innovators can turn overlooked problems into new possibilities.

At 21, Yogeeta may still be at the beginning of that journey. But she no longer feels that she has to build alone.

The Board of Directors of V-Guard Industries Limited, one of India’s leading FMEG companies, has appointed Mr. Mithun K. Chittilappilly as Chairperson & Managing Director, effective September 27, 2026. Mithun, who has served as Managing Director since 2012, will take on the additional responsibility of Chairperson following the completion of Ms. Radha Unni’s second and final term as Chairperson and Independent Director.

Mithun joined V-Guard in 2006 as Executive Director. When Mithun joined the company, the turnover was about 229 crores. It has increased 24x to Rs. 5966 crores in FY 2026. Over the past two decades, he has played a central role in the company’s transformation from a South Indian electrical brand into a strong diversified, pan-India consumer durables major.

Since joining V-Guard in 2006, Mithun has been instrumental in driving the company’s geographical expansion, portfolio diversification and manufacturing growth, significantly strengthening the brand in the Indian consumer electrical and electronics market.

During this tenure, V-Guard’s workforce grew from around 575 employees in 2006 to 11,350 as of August 2026, reflecting the scale of its growth and organisational transformation.

Today, V-Guard has 15 manufacturing facilities across 7 states in India and a diversified portfolio of 20+ categories reflecting the company’s evolution from a regional electrical brand to a broader consumer durables major. His tenure has also seen organisation-wide transformation across brand, customer service, supply chain, sales & marketing, human resources and finance.

The company has also earned several national and global recognitions, including accolades for its workplace practices. V-Guard was recognised among the World’s Most Trustworthy Companies 2025 by Newsweek and Statista and was named India’s Best Employer 2025 by TIME magazine. The company has also been a four-time recipient of the AmbitionBox Employee Choice Award for Best Place to Work in the Mid-sized Consumer Electronics Company category.

The company has also earned Superbrand status in the voltage stabilizer category for five consecutive years, reflecting the enduring trust and strength of the V-Guard brand. The company continues to maintain a low attrition rate, reflecting strong employee engagement and a positive workplace culture.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Mithun K. Chittilappilly, Chairperson & Managing Director, V-Guard Industries Limited, said: “It is an honour and a privilege to take on the responsibility of Chairperson & Managing Director of V-Guard Industries at a defining moment in the company’s journey. Over the past two decades, I have had the privilege to witness and contribute along with my team to V-Guard’s transformation from a regional brand into a strong growing pan-Indian organisation. As V-Guard moves towards its 50th anniversary, I see this milestone as an opportunity to build on our strong foundation and prepare the organisation for its next phase of growth.”

His journey from Executive Director in 2006 to Managing Director in 2012 and now Chairperson & Managing Director in 2026 mirrors V-Guard’s own evolution into a diversified, pan-India company. He assumed charge as Chairperson & Managing Director on September 27, 2026.

Tata Power Commissions Fast-Charging Station At Salem–Omalur Highway Junction

* New fast-charging facility strengthens EV access along key intercity routes in Tamil Nadu

Tata Power has commissioned a 60-kW DC fast-charging station at True Sai, an authorised Tata Motors showroom at the Salem–Omalur highway junction in Narasothipatti, expanding convenient EV charging access at a key transit point in Tamil Nadu.

Strategically located at the intersection of NH 44 and NH 544, the facility is well positioned to serve EV users travelling between Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Kerala, Tiruchirappalli and Madurai. Its highway-facing location allows travellers to charge their vehicles without making a significant detour into the city, making it a convenient stop for intercity and long-distance journeys.

Equipped with dual-gun CCS-2 connectors, the station supports a broad range of compatible passenger and light commercial EVs. Its location within an authorised Tata Motors dealership offers drivers a secure and accessible environment while charging, with the surrounding highway area providing access to essential travel amenities.

The new facility is part of Tata Power’s EZ Charge network, which has scaled to over 6,700 public and captive charging points, 2.5 lakh+ home EV chargers and 1,200+ e-bus charging points, with a footprint spanning 700+ cities and towns nationwide. The expansion reflects Tata Power’s continued efforts to improve charging accessibility and support the growing adoption of electric mobility across urban and intercity travel routes.

EV users can locate the station, check real-time availability, and initiate charging sessions through the Tata Power EZ Charge mobile app or RFID cards, enabling a seamless charging experience for travellers on the move.

* Flights, hotels, activities and transfers in one itinerary, with the flexibility to customize and a destination expert on standby

* Holiday Packages currently span across all popular destinations in India and international markets, with the selection set to grow

* Launch offerings include: Child Flies Free (Thailand, Bali and Kerala)* and Partner @ 50% (Thailand, Bali and Andaman)

Cleartrip, a Flipkart company and one of India’s leading online travel platforms, today announced its entry into the Holiday Packages category. This brings together flights, hotels, activities and transfers in a single, expert-curated itinerary that travellers can customise to suit their preferences.

The launch is part of Cleartrip’s broader growth strategy to evolve into a full-stack, multimodal travel platform, expanding beyond individual travel bookings to offer travellers a more connected way to plan and experience their journeys.

Most holiday packages hand you a plan and ask you to fit into it. Cleartrip Holiday Packages work the other way. Travellers start with an expert-curated itinerary and shape it around their own needs, swapping hotels, adjusting activities, changing flights, without losing the structure that makes a package worth booking in the first place.

Gaurav Patwari, Chief Business Officer - Air, said, “Holiday planning in India has always been an either-or: either you get a rigid package, or you spend hours building it yourself. We think there's a better way. Expert-built, traveller-controlled, and with someone available when you need them. That's what we've launched across all the popular destinations today, and it changes how Indian travellers will plan their next trip.”

The offering also brings human assistance into the holiday planning experience. Travellers can speak to an expert for guidance while planning their trip, helping them navigate destination choices, itineraries and the different elements that go into putting a holiday together. Once the trip is planned, travellers have access to a live itinerary with details such as driver information, vouchers and day plans, alongside 24×7 support during their journey.

Cleartrip's scale as one of India's leading travel platforms, and its position within the Flipkart Group, has enabled it to negotiate pricing and secure inventory with suppliers across flights, hotels and experience providers that individual travellers simply cannot access on their own, on top of an unmatched delivery experience. That value is passed on directly through Holiday Packages, in the price, curation, and flexibility built into every itinerary. And for travellers who still want that extra assurance, Cleartrip's Price Beat Offer* is simple: find the same itinerary cheaper elsewhere, and Cleartrip will beat it.

SKINN – House Of Titan Eyes ₹1,000 Crore Annual Revenue By FY30 As It Enters Its Next Phase Of Growth

* With Ayushmann Khurrana and Sobhita Dhulipala as brand ambassadors, the fragrance brand is strengthening its position in the category.

House of Titan, one of India’s leading fine fragrance brands, is charting its next phase of growth as it looks to strengthen its position in India’s rapidly evolving fragrance market. SKINN has an ambition of reaching ₹1,000 crore in annual revenue and 8 million customers by FY30, as it builds on the constantly evolving consumer behaviour and trends shaping the fragrance category in recent years.

The move comes at a time when India’s fragrance market is witnessing strong growth and evolving consumer behaviour. The Indian fragrance market is currently estimated at around ₹4,500 crore and is projected to reach approximately ₹7,000 crore by FY30, representing an expected growth of 13–15% over the next four years. The category is increasingly moving beyond traditional, occasion-led consumption, with fragrance becoming a part of everyday grooming, personal expression and lifestyle. Consumers are also becoming more discerning, exploring fragrance not only for how it smells, but also for how it makes them feel.

As SKINN Fragrances enters this next chapter, the brand is broadening its consumer proposition and strengthening its cultural relevance through its association with celebrated Bollywood actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Sobhita Dhulipala as brand ambassadors. The association marks a strategic step towards connecting SKINN with a new generation of consumers and making fragrance more relevant to everyday life and personal expression, rather than something reserved for special occasions.

Manish Gupta, CEO, Fragrances and Accessories Division, Titan Company Limited, said, “SKINN has been able to build strong momentum in the fragrance category, which is undergoing significant transformation, through its focus on product innovation. With a focus on launching new fragrances and enhancing consumer relevance, we see an opportunity to deepen SKINN’s relationship with consumers. Ayushmann and Sobhita, as brand ambassadors for SKINN, bring individuality, cultural relevance and an ability to connect with consumers in a contemporary way. Their association with the brand will help us in building an aspirational expression of the brand.”

At the heart of SKINN’s next phase is a dual focus on premiumisation and expanding the role of fragrance in everyday life. The brand’s expertise has always been rooted in launching fragrances created in collaboration with globally acclaimed perfumers and developing distinctive compositions for the Indian market. The association with Ayushmann Khurrana and Sobhita Dhulipala as brand ambassadors further supports this evolution, helping SKINN connect its expanding fragrance proposition with a new generation of consumers and reinforce fragrance as an expression of individuality, rather than something reserved for special occasions.

As SKINN scales its business, the brand is looking to strengthen its position as a key player in India’s fine fragrance market, combining global fragrance expertise with a deeper understanding of the Indian consumer and their evolving preferences.

6,000+ Bengalureans Come Together Ahead Of World Heart Day To Support Surgery For 50 Underprivileged Children

Kauvery BEATS 2026 supports Kauvery Sankalpa 2.0, which aims to provide surgical care for 25 children with congenital heart conditions and 25 children requiring complex spine surgery

More than 6,000 Bengalureans’ came together in Electronic City this morning to run, walk and cycle as part of the sixth edition of Kauvery BEATS, the annual community heart-health initiative of Kauvery Hospitals, Bengaluru. held ahead of World Heart Day on September 29.

The 5 km event brought together children, families, working professionals, recreational runners, cyclists and fitness enthusiasts, with participants encouraged to move at their own pace rather than compete for timings. In one of the morning's most striking moments, participants came together to create a large human-heart formation, turning the gathering into a visual expression of collective responsibility towards heart health.

The event was flagged off in the presence of Dr B. Dinesh, Director and Professor of Cardiology, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, and Sri Narayana M, IPS, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Electronic City Division, Bengaluru.

Speaking at the event, Dr B. Dinesh said “Physical activity remains fundamental to cardiovascular health, but prevention cannot begin only when symptoms appear. People should also know their blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, understand their family history and seek medical advice when risk factors are present. Community initiatives such as this help make heart health part of everyday conversation.”

The 2026 edition of BEATS focused on consistency in heart-healthy behaviour, encouraging people to stay physically active while also paying greater attention to cardiovascular risk factors.

Dr Vivek G, Director, Institute of Cardiology, Kauvery Hospitals, Electronic City, said “What makes this initiative meaningful is that it goes beyond bringing people together for a morning of fitness. Through Kauvery Sankalpa 2.0, the community also has an opportunity to support children who need specialised surgery but may not have the means to access it. Bringing together 6,000-plus people for heart health, while creating awareness and support for 50 children in need of surgery, shows how collective community action can make a meaningful difference.”

Moving for a larger purpose

This year, Kauvery BEATS also carried a larger social-impact message through Kauvery Sankalpa 2.0, an initiative aimed at enabling surgical care for 50 children from economically disadvantaged families in Karnataka. The programme aims to support 25 children requiring surgery for congenital heart conditions and 25 children requiring complex spine surgery, subject to clinical and socioeconomic eligibility.

Participants and supporters at BEATS were given the opportunity to make voluntary contributions towards the congenital-heart-surgery initiative, allowing the World Heart Day campaign to connect the message of heart health with the need for access to specialised cardiac care.

Six years of a growing community movement

Kauvery BEATS began in 2021 with around 600 participants and has grown steadily over six editions, crossing 1,200 participants in 2022, 2,800 in 2023, 3,500 in 2024 and more than 5,000 in 2025. Last year's event similarly used mass participation and a human-heart formation to build awareness around cardiac health.

The 2026 campaign continues October 2 with Kauvery BEATS Circuit, a new functional-fitness format aimed at regular gym-goers, runners, cyclists and fitness enthusiasts. The format will combine short running intervals with functional exercises, extending the campaign's message from community participation to fitness and cardiovascular-risk awareness.
