Cyrus Mistry

In an age where internecine battles appear to plague business families, the case of the Mistry brothers comes as a silver lining. Apparently when he had accepted the offer to head the Tata empire in 2012, Cyrus Mistry, who had until then been managing director of his family’s billion dollar Shapoorji Pallonji Group headed by his father, had done so with the understanding that he would recuse himself from the family enterprise thereafter, and leave its future stewardship in the able hands of his elder brother, Shapoor Mistry.
