Tanya Dubash, Adi Godrej’s older daughter may have a huge head start, but younger sister Nisaba is not far behind and could also possibly be the successor to Godrej.

With reports that Tanya isn’t keen on taking over the responsibility of heading the conglomerate after her father steps down, many see Nisa as the likely successor.
