'None can destroy iron, but its own rust can. Likewise, none can destroy a person, but their own mindset can,’ well said Ratan Tata. Ratan Tata, a name synonymous with integrity, vision, and philanthropy, is more than just a business icon. A legend left for heavenly abode last night on Wednesday, 9th October 2024 at the age of 86, and struck an indelible mark of humanity in India and the world.
'If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together,' yet another inspiring quote from him that resonates with his business journey that began as the Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons. Later, he became the driving force behind transforming the Tata Group into a global conglomerate, touching lives across industries, from automobiles to steel, software to hotels, and whatnot!
A man of words, Ratan Tata exemplified his grounded life with his own quote ‘'Power and wealth are not two of my main stakes.' Yet, his legacy extends far beyond business success; it lies in his unwavering commitment to ethics, social welfare, and nation-building. Wealth and power never overpowered this humbled natured-man.
Born into the renowned Tata family, Ratan Tata assumed leadership of the Tata Group in 1991, a pivotal time marked by India's economic liberalization. Under his visionary leadership, the company witnessed an unprecedented global expansion, acquiring iconic brands such as Jaguar Land Rover and Tetley Tea, and cementing its place on the world stage. His decision to launch the Tata Nano, the world’s most affordable car, was driven not by profit but by a desire to make safe transportation accessible to the lower middle class, a testament to his belief in inclusivity and the betterment of society.
Hearing of the demise, Mr. K Krithivasan, MD & CEO, of Tata Consultancy Services expresses his condolence, “With deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of Mr. Ratan Naval Tata, an extraordinary individual whose life and legacy will always be a guiding light for Tata Consultancy Services. His wisdom, compassion, and commitment to uplifting the lives of millions, made him revered across the world.
His remarkable leadership, marked by a unique blend of humility and confidence, guided TCS through transformative global expansions, with a deep sense of service to the communities we operate in and the values we cherish. He had a rare gift for making those around him feel valued and heard, earning the admiration and respect of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His approach to leadership, paired with his genuine care for people, has left an indelible mark on every one of us.
All my colleagues at TCS and I will remain forever inspired by him as we carry forward his vision.”
