He served as the CHRO and SMP at Tata Motors Limited. The Board accepted his resignation and moved forward with the appointment process.
The Board approved the appointment of DP Nambiar as the new Chief Human Resources Officer. DP Nambiar brings extensive experience in human resources management across India, Europe, and North America. He will assume his new responsibilities on May 29, 2026.
