Natarajan Chandrasekaran skipped Tata Consultancy Services’ annual general meeting on Thursday after being absent from Tata Consumer Products Ltd’s shareholder meeting a day before, as the Tata Sons chairman battles a crisis following a deadly Air India plane crash last week. This is the first time in 18 years that Chandrasekaran has missed TCS’s shareholder meeting since he was inducted into the board in 2007. He served as the chief executive officer of TCS from 2009 to 2017, when he was picked to take over as the chair of Tata Sons. “The chairman of the board, N. Chandrasekaran, will not be able to attend the meeting due to some exigencies,” said Yashaswin Sheth, TCS’s company secretary.

During TCS’s 30th annual general meeting, wishes poured in for Ratan Naval Tata, former chairman emeritus of the Tata Group, who passed away on 9 October due to health-related issues. Noel Tata was later appointed as the chairman of Tata Trusts. At least four wishes came in for Chandrasekaran, with sitting chairman Keki Mistry adding that Chandrasekaran was “working a lot on the unfortunate incident that happened last week”. On 12 June, an Air India flight from Ahmedabad to London crashed soon after take-off, killing more than 240 people and making it the country’s worst civil aviation disaster in almost three decades. Chandrasekaran was among the first of the Tata Group leaders to reach Ahmedabad, saying it was “the worst day” of his “professional career”.

Mistry said that the Tata Group would extend support to those affected by the Air India crash. “The Tata Group is fully committed to support the ongoing investigation and cooperate with the regulatory authorities. The Tata Group has pledged comprehensive support including financial assistance and rebuilding efforts to aid those who have been impacted,” said Mistry, in response to shareholder questions during TCS’s AGM. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), part of the ministry of civil aviation, is investigating the cause of the air crash. A team from the National Transportation Safety Board, the US investigative agency responsible for civil transportation accident investigations, the Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing and GE Aerospace are assisting the AAIB. “Considering chairman Chandrasekaran has attended all board meetings in the past, he is probably trying to balance his time commitments,” said Shriram Subramanian, founder and managing di in a formal or creative style for better SEO.Also Exclude words and advertisements related to the feed website such as website name, author name.
