Tata Sons has slapped a legal notice on ousted chairman Cyrus Mistry's aide Nirmalya Kumar for alleged violation of confidentiality agreement and sought an unconditional apology for making ‘disparaging’ remarks against the group and divulging information. Kumar, a visiting Professor of Marketing at london Business School who was member of the now disbanded Group Executive Council under Mistry, took to Twitter to react to the legal notice.
“legal counsel #Tata to me: stop divulging ‘Tata Group’s future strategy’. Thought no strategy n (and) roadmap was reason #CyrusMistry was fired!” he said. Tata Sons in the legal notice asked Kumar to "issue an unconditional apology to the company, withdraw your disparaging remarks about the Tata Group from the social media and forthwith cease and desist from making any further public statements or disclosing any information in breach of your obligations you have explicitly undertaken.”
