Siddharth Sharma

Chief Executive Officer

Mr Siddharth Sharma is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Tata Trusts, one of Asia’s oldest and largest philanthropies, which are committed to making a positive and irreversible impact on millions of lives through their interventions in areas such as health, education, nutrition, livelihood, sustainability, urban habitat, water, sanitation and hygiene and more.

Apart from providing administrative leadership to the Trusts, he also sits on the Boards of various not-for-profit organisations and Section 8 Companies.

Prior to his appointment as the CEO of Tata Trusts, Mr Sharma was the Group Chief Sustainability Officer at Tata Sons, where he spearheaded the Tata Group’s sustainability agenda, including crafting the Group’s ambitious ‘Net Zero by 2045’ agenda. He was, in that capacity, also the Chair of the Tata Group Sustainability Council, the apex sustainability body of the Tata Group.

He started his career in October 1992 as a civil servant and spent more than two and half decades in key Ministries and Departments of Government of India, including as the Financial Advisor to the 13th and 14th Presidents of India, before transitioning to the Tata Group in February 2019.
