Maya Tata, the youngest daughter of Noel Tata, is reportedly set to take charge of the e-commerce marketing division at Westside, the fashion and lifestyle brand owned by Trent.
While she belongs to the prominent Tata family, Maya Tata has largely remained out of the public spotlight. She is the youngest daughter of Noel Tata, Chairman of Tata Trusts and Trent.

According to reports, Westside contributes nearly 40% of Trent’s overall revenue. The retailer expanded its footprint by opening 53 new stores during FY2026 and plans to continue its rapid growth with approximately 50 new stores every year.

During her tenure, she worked on initiatives spanning digital commerce, customer engagement and online retail. Tata Digital also oversees consumer providing her with exposure to large-scale digital ecosystems.
As fashion retail continues to evolve through integrated online and offline experiences, her reported appointment is expected to support Westside’s efforts to strengthen its digital presence and enhance customer. With digital commerce becoming central to retail growth, Maya Tata’s move could play a key role in shaping Westside’s omnichannel strategy and customer experience
