There is a big
misunderstanding among many people about the relationship Natarajan Chandrasekaran has
with Subramaniam Ramadorai. It is alleged that Ramadorai is the father in law
of N. Chandrasekaran and he ensured that Chandra became the CEO of TCS when his term came to end. However, the truth may be something else. Now, N. Chandrasekaran has
become the Chairman of Tata Sons, and hence this issue has again come to the fore.
Relationship Between Ramadorai and Chandrasekaran
Ramadorai
started looking for his successor in 2008, one year before he was to turn 65
years old – the retirement age fixed by Tata Sons. The name of Vivek Paul, the
then CEO of Wipro was among the front runner. However, Ramadorai was having a
different mind. He started to groom Chandrasekaran. In fact, many people were
surprised by this move as Chandrasekaran, in spite of his exemplary business
skills, was not having any MBA degree and was not among reckoning. But,
Ramadorai was able to see the future of TCS in him.
He started a
project termed as 'Take Chandra Seriously – TCS'. He groomed Chandra and
recommended his name to the board. N. Chandra was chosen the CEO of TCS in
2009.
This out of turn
interest in N. Chandra led many to relate Ramadorai with him. Many started to
allege that Chandra’s wife Lalitha, who was working as an Investment Banker, is
the daughter of Ramadorai.
That is not the
case.
Ramadorai has
only one son named Tarun. He has no family relationship with Lalitha or anyone
from Chandra family.
In a nutshell,
Ramadorai is NOT the father in law of N. Chandrasekaran, the group Chairman of
Tata Sons.
