When the will of Ratan Tata was not will, it contained all the expected elements – charitable obligations, family considerations, and precise distributions. But one name emerged, raising eyebrows through commercial and social circles in India: Mohini Mohan Dutta.
A relatively mysterious businessman from Jamsheedbur, Dutta left more than 500 rupees, according to the Economy newspaper. His inclusion, not the least of which was because Tata, who passed away in October 2024, was specific to his personal affairs.
Who is Mohini Mohan Dutta? What role did he play in Tata’s life? And why did one of the largest individual wills in the will of one of the most reliable industrialists in India?
According to Dutus, now in his eighties, Ratan Tata in the early 1960s at the merchants’ hostel in Jamsheedbur. At the time, Tata was 24 years old and was moving on his way through the empire of the sprawling family. This meeting formed the path of Dutta’s life.
“We met for the first time in Jamsheidbur at the merchants’ hostel when Ratan Tata was twenty -four years old. He helped me go out and really build me.”
Dota’s career journey interlocking with the Tata Group. After he started his career with the TAJ group, he founded Stallion Travel Agency, which merged with Taj Services, a section of the TAJ Hotels Group, in 2013. Lamas Cook (India). DUTTA is still a director of re -named travel services in TC, and shares are held in Tata Group, including Tata Capital, which is preparing for a general inclusion.
The report adds, that Dutta was more than a partner, a son of Moubet, who goes further. However, the will and the accompanying codicil explicitly states that Ratan Tata has never married or adopted children.
DUTTA’s connection to the Tata family extends beyond work. His daughter worked with Tata Trusts nearly a decade after her career began at Taj Hotels. He was also a guest on the anniversary of the anniversary of Tata in NCPA in Mumbai in December 2024, an event attended by the most trusted names in the environmental Tatta system.
Despite his deep relations, DUTTA inherita has sparked discontent. According to the will, he is entitled to obtain a third of the remaining property in Tata, which includes bank deposits exceeding 350 rupees and returns from the property auction such as panels and watches.
The remaining two -thirds go to the Tata of Tata, Sherine Jiboy and Diana Gigibhoi, who, along with Tata trustees, trust in Darius Khaybata and Mihley Mestre, are also two executives of will. However, the sources mentioned by economic times reveal that Dutta expects its inheritance to be of 650 rupees, a number that is not in line with the current estimates of the executors.
The half -brother in Tata Claus Tata and his children are clearly absent from the will, while Jimmy Tata is scheduled to get 50 rupees. Although economic times have been extensively reported, BT was independently able to verify claims related to inheritance estimates or the exact conditions of Tata will.
Since the will is awaiting the will in the Bombay Supreme Court, the questions revolve around this unexpected will.
