Mehli Mistry resigns as a director of RNT Associates Pvt. Ltd., the personal investment vehicle linked to late Ratan Tata, according to multiple outlets. Reports say he submitted his resignation letter to the company’s board on June 30 and that it became effective July 1, with the resignation attributed to other commitments. Other coverage links his exit to governance and succession changes tied to Ratan Tata’s will. Times of India reports that Mistry’s resignation follows his decision to step down as a trustee of the Ratan Tata Endowment Trust and the Ratan Tata Endowment Foundation, and that the directorship at RNT Associates is transferred to the new trustees in line with the will. Additional reporting frames the move as part of a wider period of transitions and departures connected to Tata-related entities after Ratan Tata’s death. Mint also notes that his resignation comes months after he was ousted from Tata Trusts and that he challenges the removal before Maharashtra’s Charity Commissioner. Together, the reports indicate Mistry’s departure is connected both to personal timing and to trustee/asset-transfer arrangements outlined in the late industrialist’s estate planning.
