In his life, and demise, Mr Ratan Tata has moved the nation. 

I was fortunate to spend time with him, but millions, who have never met him, feel the same grief that I feel today. Such is his impact.

From his love for animals to philanthropy, he showed that true progress can only be achieved when we care for those who don’t have the means to take care of themselves.

Rest in peace, Mr Tata. Your legacy will continue to live through the institutions you built and values that you embraced.

The whole nation is in mourning as one of the most revered and valued people to have been born in India has gone for his heavenly home. Ratan Tata was a wonderful visionary who affected every aspect of life. From FMCG to Automotive, Tata Sons has touched and still dominates every sector. Architect of India's rich present and future, Ratan Tata's death is being condoned by powerful individuals from all spheres.

Ratan Tata's contributions to India's industrial growth and global influence are unparalleled. During his leadership, Tata Group expanded its footprint internationally, acquiring major brands like Jaguar Land Rover and Corus, while also setting new standards for corporate ethics and philanthropy. A true titan of Indian industry, Tata was as well-known for his humanitarian efforts as he was for his business acumen.
