''Tata Sons thanks him for his distinguished services in various leadership roles including in the telecommunication sector, private equity space and branding strategy, as a Tata Administrative Service (TAS) Officer in the Tata Group, over a period of 23 years,'' it said.
Rajan and Tata Sons have mutually agreed that he will leave the services of Tata Sons on 31 March 2018, the statement added.
