Noel N. Tata will step down as chairman and director of Trent Ltd on November 11, ending nearly three decades at the helm of the Tata Group retailer, with the company's board appointing Bahram Vakil as his successor from November 12.
Tata, who has been associated with Trent since 1997, will assume the role of chairman emeritus from November 12 in recognition of his contribution to the company, Trent said in a regulatory filing.
The leadership transition is in line with the Tata Group Governance Guidelines, which prescribe requirements for board composition, committees and director retirement.
The board also approved the appointment of Rajiv Dube as an additional non-executive, non-independent director from October 30, subject to shareholder approval.
Kalpana Merchant has been appointed an additional director and independent director for a three-year term from October 30, 2026, also subject to shareholder approval.
Trent said Tata had provided strategic direction and leadership during his tenure, helping the company strengthen its market position and deliver growth for stakeholders.
