Shantanu Naidu, a close confidant of the late industrialist Ratan Tata, has been promoted to General Manager, Head of Strategic Initiatives at Tata Motors, marking an important milestone in his career with the Tata Group.
Naidu shared the news of his new role on LinkedIn, expressing his excitement: "I'm happy to share that I'm starting a new position as General Manager, Head - Strategic Initiatives at Tata Motors!
