Tata Trusts, has awarded its integrated communications mandate to Weber Shandwick India. Tata Trusts began in 1892 with Jamsetji Tata, the founder of the Tata Group, setting up the 'JN Tata Endowment' for higher education of Indians. 

N Srinath, CEO, Tata Trusts confirmed the development saying, "The Tata Trusts required an agency that could best articulate the vision of the Trusts and the work we have been doing to create sustainable impact on communities.  Weber’s depth of experience, and knowledge of the social sector is very relevant to the Trusts to help deliver outcomes we want to see."

Valerie Pinto, CEO, Weber Shandwick India said, "We are proud to partner 'The Tata Trusts' in their journey to deliver sustainable outcomes for communities. We are delighted to bring forward our collective global experience to make an impact."
