**Tata Sons Chairman Skips TCS AGM Amid Air India Tragedy**

**Mumbai, June 19, 2025** – Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran was absent from the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Annual General Meeting (AGM) today, marking his second consecutive day of absence from a Tata Group shareholder gathering.

TCS Company Secretary Yashaswin Sheth informed shareholders that Mr. Chandrasekaran was unable to attend the AGM due to unforeseen circumstances. His absence follows his non-attendance at the Tata Consumer Products AGM on Wednesday.

Sources say Mr. Chandrasekaran’s focus remains on the tragic Air India plane crash last week. The flight from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick crashed, resulting in the deaths of at least 270 people, including 241 passengers and crew.

Independent director Keki Mistry presided over the TCS AGM in Mr. Chandrasekaran’s place. “This is a very difficult time for us at the Tata Group,” Mr. Mistry stated, expressing deep sadness and offering condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims. “Tata Group stands in solidarity with the affected people in these challenging times.”

Prior to the AGM proceedings, the TCS board observed a minute of silence to honor the victims of the crash. Mr. Chandrasekaran, who previously served as the CEO of TCS for eight years, was appointed Chairman of Tata Sons in 2017. The absence comes during a period of intense focus on the Air India investigation and support for the bereaved.
