Cyrus a new challenger of Tata Empire

Cyrus Mistry will be the next chairman of Tata Empire from Monday.

It is said that he was groomed for this position for a year but I doubt whether he will perform as brilliantly as Sir Ratan Tata. I have allowed myself for respecting him as "Sir" because I really idolize him the way he took the Tata Group value to approx $100 billion and become the 5th global company in world
