Today, the world mourns the loss of one of India's most iconic industrialists, Ratan Tata, who passed away on October 9, 2024, at the age of 86. A visionary leader, Ratan Tata was the driving force behind the Tata Group, transforming it into a global conglomerate known for its innovation, ethics, and social responsibility.

Ratan Tata took over as chairman of Tata Sons in 1991, during a time of economic liberalization in India. Under his leadership, the group expanded internationally, acquiring renowned brands like Jaguar Land Rover and Tetley. He played a significant role in making Tata Group a symbol of trust and integrity.
