A tribute to Ratan Tata. For inspiring a generation 🙏🏻

Today, I feel sad. We truly lost somebody who exemplified doing 'good' along with doing 'business'.

I'd recently read the book ‘The Story of Tata’ and had learnt the good they have done, which is always difficult when you're a capitalist. But Tata truly is built different, and Ratan Tata took the torch so far ahead.

I started out career at TCS like many here, so that’s the most obvious way I was benefitted from what they have made. It was a start, and a start is what one often needs.

But beyond it: there are many things

  1. He took Tata from $6Bn in revenue to $100Bn in revenue under his reign

  2. ⁠Acquired brands like Tetley, JLR which are honestly a big deal for an Indian company

  3. ⁠Nano, which failed, was one of his noble pet projects. It showed his thought process.

  4. ⁠Support to startups: literally every founder is putting up stories of their interactions with him, how ever present was he

All while donating 60% of profits to social causes via Tata Trusts (that’s a function of his ancestors and how they set the company)

We’ve lost a legend. We’ve lost an example in positive business building.

I hope we remember and learn from Ratan Tata for long. ♥️

Absolutely echo what you have written It was his calling to be an industrialist and billionaire (because of his family). But so many of his choices reflected a noble intent.

And that’s all it takes. Ambani Adani etc will never see the love we’re seeing outpouring for Tata.

And I hope that becomes an example for more business leaders.

No one is saying a Rich man passed away, everyone saying a Good man passed away. It's extremely rare to achieve that feat when you are rich.

If you have to learn only one thing from him. Learn how to be a good person.

Ratan Tata 1937 - 2024 🙏

It's rare to be born a millionaire and still be loved by the common man. Perhaps the last of his kind in this ever greedy world
