Mumbai: Tata Motors Ltd has seen a bevy of senior executives leave the automaker in the past few months at a time when it is undergoing a major restructuring, splitting its operations into two separate listed companies handling commercial vehicles (CV) and passenger vehicles (PV) businesses. Mint is aware of at least half a dozen such departures since August, all in the ranks of team heads or above.

These include Biswaroop Mukherjee, who was head of human resources for the commercial vehicles business unit; Anurag Mehrotra, vice-president for international business and strategy; Vinay Pant, chief marketing officer–passenger vehicles; Vinay Pathak, head of product planning and program management–commercial vehicles; Sampada Inamdar, head of training and development; and Devendra Katiyar, chief safety officer. Ashish Tandon, senior general manager (small commercial vehicles), also quit during this period. Two of these executives have joined Tata Motors' rivals.

Mehrotra now heads JSW MG Motor India as its managing director and Tandon is global head–customer excellence at Euler Motors.
