nRamadorainstarted looking for his successor in 2008, one year before he was to turn 65nyears old – the retirement age fixed by Tata Sons. The name of Vivek Paul, thenthen CEO of Wipro was among the front runner. However, Ramadorai was having andifferent mind. He started to groom Chandrasekaran. In fact, many people werensurprised by this move as Chandrasekaran, in spite of his exemplary businessnskills, was not having any MBA degree and was not among reckoning. But,nRamadorai was able to see the future of TCS in him.
n
n
n
n
n
nHe started anproject termed as ‘Take Chandra Seriously – TCS’. He groomed Chandra andnrecommended his name to the board. N. Chandra was chosen the CEO of TCS inn2009.
n
n
n
n
n
nThis out of turnninterest in N. Chandra led many to relate Ramadorai with him. Many started tonallege that Chandra’s wife Lalitha, who was working as an Investment Banker, isnthe daughter of Ramadorai.
n
n
n
n
n
nThat is not thencase.
n
n
n
n
n
nRamadorai hasnonly one son named Tarun. He has no family relationship with Lalitha or anyonenfrom Chandra family.
n
n
n
n
n
nIn a nutshell,nRamadorai is NOT the father in law of N. Chandrasekaran, the group Chairman ofnTata Sons.
