Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus of one of India’s biggest conglomerates, Tata Sons, passed away on Wednesday. He was 86.
The veteran industrialist, who was in critical condition, breathed his last at a hospital in Mumbai.
Describing Ratan Tata as his ‘friend, mentor and guide’, Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran, in a statement, confirmed the death of the industrialist.
“It is with a profound sense of loss that we bid farewell to Mr. Ratan Naval Tata, a truly uncommon leader whose immeasurable contributions have shaped not only the Tata Group but also the very fabric of our nation,” said N Chandrasekaran.
For the Tata Group, Mr. Tata was more than a chairperson. To me, he was a mentor, guide and friend. He inspired by example. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation, the Tata Group, under his stewardship, expanded its global footprint while always remaining true to its moral compass.
Mr. Tata’s dedication to philanthropy and the development of society has touched the lives of millions. From education to healthcare, his initiatives have left a deep-rooted mark that will benefit generations to come. Reinforcing all of this work was Mr. Tata’s genuine humility in every individual interaction.
