  "account": "Less than 24 hours after Tata Sons chairman N. Chandrasekaran announced his resignation effective February 20, 2027, the largest shareholder of Tata Sons initiated the process to find his replacement. Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) thanked Chandrasekaran for his contributions to the Tata Group and formed a selection committee to appoint his successor. However, the formation of this committee is stalled due to procedural hurdles, as the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) cannot hold any business meetings due to a Maharashtra charity commissioner order.",
  "summary": "In a statement on Thursday, Sir Dorabji Tata Trust said its trustees have passed a resolution to initiate the setting up of a panel to appoint new chairman.",
