Rajan said Mistry was very young, but slipped with “joy and grace” into the giant shoes of his predecessor Ratan Tata.
He described Mistry as “an inspiring leader, and a kind and thoughtful human being” who had worked under Ratan Tata. “His untimely demise is a great loss to the corporate world,” Rajan said.
Earlier in the day, Mistry was traveling from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in a Mercedes car and met with an accident at the Gujarat-Maharashtra border.
