He warned that with a large number of shareholders, profit might eventually take priority over philanthropy. Tata also questioned the group's ability to follow through on its strategic direction. Speaking at the 24th Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, he said that becoming chairman after years as a trustee had humbled him. He highlighted the magnitude of societal challenges and the potential to assist the marginalized.
