Cyrus Mistry's surprise removal as Chairman of the Tata Group was rooted in a mismatch of values between him and Ratan Tata, his 78-year-old predecessor, according to Harish Salve, a long-time legal adviser to the $100 billion group. "I'm sure all the people concerned here know they are not fighting for a piece of land or property," said Mr Salve to NDTV, emphasizing that the group felt its formidable international reputation was being compromised.
