He is survived by his wife and two children. He also has a brother Shapoorji.
Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde expressed his shock and condolences. “Shocked to hear about the passing away of former Tata Sons chief Cyrus Mistry. He was not only a successful entrepreneur but also was seen in the industry as a young, bright & visionary personality. It’s a great loss… My heartfelt tribute”, he said.
In 2012, Mistry’s name made headlines when he was selected to lead one of India’s largest business conglomerates Tata Sons after Ratan Tata stepped down. Cyrus was chosen as chairman based on the representation of Shapoorji Palonji Group, the largest shareholder in Tata Group.
On 27th June this year, Cyrus Mistry’s father Pallonji Mistry passed away at 93. He also has two daughters, Laila and Aloo. The latter is married to Noel Tata, the half-brother of Ratan Tata.
