According to Jyotiraditya Scindia, Ratan Tata's life of integrity, humility and compassion, along with his extraordinary commitment to philanthropy and nation-building, set a benchmark for ethical leadership. Ratan Tata played a key role in transforming the Tata Group into a global powerhouse, with ventures spanning industries such as steel, automobiles, software, and telecommunications. Early in his career, he worked with several Tata companies, including Tata Motors (formerly Telco) and Tata Steel, and revitalised the National Radio & Electronics Company.
In 1991, he succeeded JRD Tata as chairman of the Tata Group. He implemented significant organisational reforms, including enforcing retirement ages and promoting young talent to leadership roles. Ratan Naval Tata was a respected Indian businessman and former chairman of Tata Group, one of India's largest conglomerates. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2008.
He graduated in architecture from Cornell University before returning to India in 1962 to join the Tata Group, founded by his great-grandfather, Jamsetji Tata. He was a licensed pilot, known for his quiet demeanour, relatively modest lifestyle and philanthropic initiatives.
Ratan Tata remained a visionary leader and a compassionate figure, earning widespread respect in both business and social circles. He was also awarded with Assam Baibhav by Government of Assam in 2021, Honorary Officer of the Order of Australia by King Charles III in 2023, Honorary Doctor of Science by IIT Bombay in 2008, Honorary Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (GBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in 2014 and Honorary Citizen Award by the Government of Singapore in 2008.
Tata set up Tata Teleservices in 1996 and took Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) public in 2004, capitalising on the IT boom. His leadership led to significant international acquisitions, including the purchase of Tetley Tea in 2000 and the acquisition of VSNL (Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited) in 2002, the acquisition of Corus Steel in 2007, one of the largest takeovers by an Indian company, and the acquisition of Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in 2008.
Tata played a key role in the Tata Group's acquisition of Air India from the government in January 2022. He also launched the Tata Nano, a low-cost car designed to provide affordable transportation for the Indian market. After stepping down from active leadership, Tata became a prominent investor in Indian startups, backing companies such as Paytm, Ola Electric, and Urban Company.
Industrialist-philanthropist Ratan Tata passed away on October 9, 2024, at the age of 86. He was the Chairman of Ratan Tata Trust and Dorabji Tata Trust, two of the largest private-sector-promoted philanthropic trusts in India. He was honoured with the country's second-highest civilian award, the Padma Vibhushan, in 2008.
