The passing of Ratan Tata has left a deep impact on the nation as one of India’s greatest industrialists died over the weekend.
At 86, the industrialist had been under treatment in hospital at Mumbai. His condition became critical. That was quite rare for Tata: known for his extra-ordinary contributions both to the business world and philanthropy.
Under his stewardship, he converted Tata Sons into a global conglomerate by acquiring businesses such as Jaguar Land Rover and Corus.
This period also saw the initiation of the most ambitious projects undertaken for this age, like the TATA Nano-the cheapest car in the world. Philanthropy was not an exception, either; there is the Tata Scholarship at Cornell University to name a few.
Business leaders and public figures have yet paid their tributes to Tata, as they described his unassuming humility, his ideal vision for society, and his commitment to improving society. His influence on India’s economy and reputation worldwide will never be forgotten.
However, despite his massive success, Tata was a very private man, never married, and his personal life was marked by his sense of responsibility and modesty. His legacy inspires generations after him to strive for excellence yet be tethered to values of compassion and integrity.
Honor Ratan Tata’s legacy with heartfelt images and emotional quotes for WhatsApp status. Celebrate his remarkable life.
