  "account": "Tata Sons chairman N. Chandrasekaran announced on Wednesday that he will not seek reappointment at the end of his term, citing a lack of support from the board. The tension arose from disputes with the charity arm, Tata Trusts, which owns 66% of the conglomerate. The two sides have clashed over key issues such as whether Tata Sons should be listed, the losses at Air India, the planned exit of a minority shareholder, and board representation. The discord has been ongoing for several months, with Tata Sons postponing a decision on reappointing Chandrasekaran after Tata Trusts opposed the move in February. Despite the upcoming departure, Chandrasekaran stated he would remain in the position until February. The Tata group, a 158-year-old conglomerate, is currently grappling with losses at its airline division Air India, declining sales for its Jaguar Land Rover business, and fallout from a data leak at its electronics arm, impacting top clients like Apple and Tesla.",
