Former Tata Trusts trustee, Mehli Mistry has stepped down from the governing board of the National Centre for the Performing Arts, the cultural institution located in Mumbai. The move was confirmed by Mistry in response to an email from businessline.
Vijay Singh, who is on the board of Tata Trusts, has been appointed in Mistry’s place, sources in the know said.
Earlier Mistry had also stepped down from the board of the Small Animal Hospital Trust, established by Tata Trusts through the Advanced Veterinary Care Foundation. NCPA was established in 1976 by JRD Tata.
Mistry, who was a close confidante of Ratan Tata, was ousted from the board of Tata Trusts in October, with majority of the trustees voting against his reappointment. Differences had cropped up between the trustees with two distinct camps, one aligned with Chairman Noel Tata, and others backing Mistry.
Subsequently, in a communication to Tata Trusts, Mistry indicated his decision to move on and part ways with Tata Trusts.
