Mehli Mistry Exits From Ratan Tata's Family Investment Office

Mehli K. Mistry, a close associate of the late Ratan Tata, has resigned from the board of RNT Associates Pvt Ltd, a firm founded by the ex-Tata Sons Chairman. 

His resignation from RNT Associates comes after his ouster from the Tata Trusts, which holds a controlling stake in Tata Sons, the holding company of the Mumbai-headquartered group.

Further, this signals a continued move away from the Tata Group and its linked entities.

“Owing to my preoccupation with my other commitments, I hereby submit my resignation from the position of director of RNT Associates Pvt. Ltd, effective i.e. 1 July 2026,” Mistry wrote to the board of directors of RNT Associates in a letter dated 30 June.

Currently, he is a board member of Tata Education and Development Trust, which is considered to be the wealthiest affiliate of Tata Trusts.

Sisters of Ratan Tata, Shireen Jejeebhoy and Deanna Jejeebhoy, Jamsheed Poncha, a top-level executive at Tata Sons and Tata Sons General Counsel Sidharth Sharma are the four board members of RNT Associates.

RNT Associates, established in March 2009, was the investment vehicle utilised by Ratan Tata to invest in start-ups. The investment vehicle has bet on several new-age companies such as Ola, and Paytm.
