Cyrus Mistry, 54, scion of one of India’s most illustrious business families and the former chairman of Tata Sons, died on Sunday in a car accident, less than three months after the death of his father Pallonji Mistry, 93, in June.
An Indian-born Irish businessman, Mistry was instrumental in the turnaround and expansion of Shapoorji Pallonji Group (SP Group) into a global construction conglomerate, after he joined the family construction business as managing director in 1991.
