Cyrus Mistry was appointed chairman of the Tata Group in 2012 but was removed in 2016. He faced many challenges in managing the large conglomerate, including turning around struggling businesses like Tata Steel UK. Mistry aggressively pursued selling off unprofitable units and reducing dividends, angering shareholders. Tensions grew as Mistry tried to install his own team and centralize performance tracking, while emphasizing profitability across all diverse businesses. Ultimately, Mistry's removal was due to his failure to stabilize Tata Steel, aggressive cost-cutting, and combative relationship with executives and shareholders like the Tata Trusts.
