Abstract
In January 2017, N. Chandrasekaran was appointed the Chairman of Tata Sons (hereafter Tata), and soon after taking charge he decided to resolve the long-pending dispute with Docomo. Tata had agreed to pay more than US$1 billion to Docomo to honour an international arbitral award. After going through the long legal battle, Tata had learnt that the legal and regulatory issues could create havoc. What should Tata, led by Chandrasekaran, do? Should it simply wash its hands off the telecom business or carry on solo, or join hands with an existing player?
