He was amongst the brightest business minds of the country, who made a significant contribution to India’s growth story. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and admirers.”
– Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia: “Saddened by the death of the former Tata Sons Chairman, Cyrus Mistry. With his untimely passing, India has lost a business visionary who still had so much left to contribute to India’s economic growth. My heartfelt condolences to his family. May his soul rest in Peace.”
– The Vice President Secretariat quoting Jagdeep Dhankhar tweeted: “Deeply anguished by the sudden demise of Shri Cyrus Mistry in a car accident today. His death is a huge loss for India’s business community. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family members and friends. May his soul rest in peace.”

– NCP chief Supriya Sule: “His death is shocking for me. I have seen his elevation as the Tata Sons head as well as the subsequent turbulence. He and his wife had gone through a lot of struggle in the last four years. I still cannot believe that he has passed away. How many times do we have to talk about road safety? I used to tease him for his simplicity and low-profile life. I had once gone to the Taj Hotel, which is a part of Tata Group, with Cyrus and my husband and surprisingly, the attendant did not recognise Cyrus at all. It is a personal loss for me and my husband Sadanand Sule.”
– Girish Kuber, the editor of Marathi every day Loksatta and creator of the e book ‘Tatayan’ based mostly on the Tata Group: “Mistry had a vision for industrial growth and was well known for his command over statistical data. The Mistry family had maximum holding in the Tata Group. Mistry had good intentions to reorganise the Tata Group’s finances and its structure. In Mistry’s death, we have lost a promising personality from the industry.”
