On 29 December 2012, Cyrus Mistry became the Chairman of the Tata Group. Yet, after 4 years on 24 October 2016, Tata Sons removed him from the post of chairman. After this, on 12 January 2017, N.

- Cyrus Mistry and Ratan Tata not only have a business relationship but also a family relationship between two. Many people are also aware that there is a relationship between the Tata family and the Mistry family, but very few people know about this relationship.
- First of all, let us tell you that Cyrus Mistry’s mother Pete Perrin Dabas is from Ireland. He was born in 1939 in Dublin, Ireland. Pallonji Mistry also became an Irish citizen by marrying Pete Perrin Dabas. They had two sons and two daughters.
- Pallonji Shapoorji has two sons named Shapoor Mistry and Cyrus Mistry, while two daughters – Laila and Allu. Palanji’s daughter Allu was married to Noel Tata and thus the Tata and Mistry families became intertwined. Noel Tata is the half brother of Ratan Tata. That is, sister Allu’s husband Noel Tata became Cyrus Mistry’s brother-in-law in the relationship. And so Ratan Tata, Noel’s half-brother, also became like a brother-in-law. That is, Cyrus Mistry was like Ratan Tata’s brother-in-law in the relationship. If seen in one way, the relationship of both can be considered as that of a brother-in-law.
