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.
