Ratan Tata was an amazing leader in India and around the world. He was known for being kind, generous, and humble. Noel Tata spoke about how Ratan earned a special award called the Jewel of India after his passing. This award celebrated Ratan’s ability to run the Tata Group with care and respect for the country’s values.

Ratan faced many challenges, but he always did what was right for the Tata Group, helping it grow and succeed. He led the company for over 20 years and died at the age of 86 in October 2024.

Interestingly, Ratan wanted to be an architect when he was younger but found himself leading a big business instead. A magazine called The Economist once said that even though he owned less than 1% of the Tata Group, he was still one of the most powerful businessmen in India and worldwide.

Noel Tata, Ratan’s half-brother, highlighted how Ratan wasn’t just about business. He loved helping people and made a significant impact through the Tata Trusts, a philanthropic organization. Ratan’s kindness and empathy touched many lives.

Noel shared a quote from Leo Tolstoy, saying that true greatness comes from being simple, good, and truthful. Ratan Tata truly embodied these qualities, showing us what we have lost with his passing.

Noel Tata was born in 1956 and is Ratan Tata’s half-brother. He owns a 1% share in Tata Sons and is involved in several Tata companies today. He is also the first Tata family member to work on the boards of both Tata Trusts and Tata Sons since Ratan retired in 2011.
