We cannot find replacement for Ratan Tata Search panel
'We can't find replacement for Tata'
New Delhi, Apr 6 (PTI) Eight months after it was set up to find a successor to Tata Sons Chairman Ratan Tata, the search panel has concluded that it cannot find a "replacement" for the group chief.
"Our committee has come to the conclusion that we cannot find a replacement for (Ratan) Tata!", said Tata Sons Director and one of the members of the committee R K Krishna Kumar in an interview published on the company''s website.
Group holding company Tata Sons in August last year had set up a five-member panel to find a successor to Tata, who is due to retire in December 2012 when he turns 75.
Apart from Kumar, other panel members are Tata Sons former vice chairman N A Soonawala, group director Cyrus Mistry, group adviser and lawyer Shirin Bharucha and influential British businessman Lord Bhattacharya.
Showering lavish praise on Tata, Kumar said the search panel might have to lower the benchmark to find a successor to the head of USD 71 billion business empire.
"He (Tata) is a born leader and you can see this wherever he goes...He has a place in the history of post-independence India", he said, adding "we may have to change and re-arrange the model in terms of what we are looking for".
"We are now considering people � from within the group and outside, including expatriates � who can fill the role we have in mind. There are challenges but we will soon come to a conclusion", he said.
Tata was the inspiration behind the launch of small car Nano. An astute business leader, he was driving force behind Tata Steel acquiring Anglo-Dutch steel maker Corus as well as Tata Motors buying luxury British auto brands Jaguar and Land Rover.
Well respected Tata''s reputation, however, took a beating after his conversation with corporate lobbyist Niira Radia was leaked. Both Tata and Radia recently appeared before Parliament''s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that is looking into the 2G spectrum allocation scam.
While announcing the search panel last year, Tata Sons had said the group would require someone with experience and exposure to direct its growth amidst the challenges of the global economy.
"The selection process for a prospective candidate would consider suitable persons from within the Tata companies and other professionals in India as well as persons overseas with global experience," it had said.

Corporates get ready to splurge on ads during IPL Even the country''s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India which has traditionally stayed away from IPL is encouraged to spend money this time on the T20 tournament, after the success of the World Cup.
New Delhi, Apr 5 (PTI) Looking to cash in on the cricket fever after India''s World Cup win, corporates are lapping up advertising spots in the forthcoming IPL, with the likes of Tata Motors earmarking a Rs 30 crore spend for the tournament.
Even the country''s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India which has traditionally stayed away from IPL is encouraged to spend money this time on the T20 tournament, after the success of the World Cup.
Not only big corporates with deep pockets are loosening their purse strings. Even companies like Paragon Footwear and water heaters and voltage stabilisers maker V-Guard are getting ready to splurge on advertisements to grab eyeballs during the IPL telecast.
According to industry sources, homegrown auto major Tata Motors is understood to have earmarked a budget of Rs 30 crore for advertising during the IPL matches on sub-continental broadcaster SetMax.
When contacted, a Tata Motors spokesperson declined to divulge the company''s advertising budget for the IPL, but said: "The company has booked spots to advertise as an entity for both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles." Commenting on Maruti Suzuki''s plans for the IPL, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd Chief General Manager Marketing Shashank Srivastava said: "We have had a good experience in the World Cup, where we spent about Rs 30 crore. After India''s win there is a lot of interest in cricket. We could get good returns on it." He said the company will finalise its marketing plans for IPL in a couple of days.
"Our ad spend on cricket has been traditionally high and about 30 per cent of our budget goes into it. Our investment in the World Cup were fulfilled," he added.
The company had advertised mainly for its new sedans Kizashi and SX4 diesel.
Meanwhile, Tata Motors is going a step further in its association with the IPL by becoming an associate partner for passenger cars with the Delhi Daredevils.
"This is an extension to our association with the JiyoDilli Festival and to support the spirit of the city of Delhi," the spokesperson said. The company is also talking to other IPL teams to become associate partners for commercial vehicles too, he added.
Others are not far behind. Footwear-maker Paragon is increasing its marketing spends by 40 per cent this year compared to last year on account of plans to advertise during the IPL.
"Cricket promises larger consumer engagement compared to any other format. It is for the first time that Paragon has decided to buy spots in a big way for IPL season four," Mudra Max Associate Vice-President Gopalakrishnan Nair Gopi told PTI.
