Ratan Tata's Tribute to Economic Reformer

Journalist

Ratan Tata's Tribute to Economic Reformer- Grapevine

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. ♥️

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

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.

Ratan Tata what a humble person and legend

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

The greatest tribute one can give to Sir Ratan Tata is to know what TATAs did to India and why we should be grateful to them. I wrote an article about "TA-TA to Mr.TATA" & know at least a few things about their contribution to India from starting India's first steel plant to contributing 47,000 crores in tax i.e, 2.24% of total India's tax in 2017. Read it and share it to spread the TATAs pride.

I'm happy to see India mourning the loss of Sir Ratan Tata. I'm happy that entrepreneurs are being celebrated like politicians & movie stars

Deeply saddened to hear this news that the man who has given this world so much to look for and the one who has loved animals to the extremities. Why it is feeling like a personal loss. His aura is so powerful that light in his smile and the purest form of his heart and kindness towards each and everyone around. He brought glories to the industrial and corporate world. I saw so many people posted on Instagram stories about his kindness and his love for animals. But not even 1% of them would follow his values and principles.People like show offs. He is not some trending news that someone has updated a story or status so even you should do it . Just feel and understand who he was and how he changed the entire world how he brought the difference to the lives of people and those countless animals. Being the richest at heart and still being so down to earth can we just try to become at least 0.1 of his kindness and his values then I am sure our country will be a developed economy sooner which was his dream. Let’s not just keep him to status or stories let’s bring his kindness and values in daily lives.

Tata always surprises with his philanthropy and amazing work. Lesson to be learnt always by his great virtue of excelling business along with social good. A man with no haters.

Whom do you look up to in the Indian Entrepreneurs & why?

How come the death of Ratan Tata is something that so many people are paying enormous attention to? He was born into a wealthy family. For him, acquiring companies is like buying lollipops since he has his family’s money. He pays his employees (TCS) pennies and working conditions are shit. Philanthropy is a cakewalk for generationally wealthy families who anyway practice philanthropy in exchange for fame and goodwill of society (there is no such thing as no-strings-attached philanthropy)

I don’t even consume Tata Salt.

Why are you vehemently celebrating someone who is not even a self made entrepreneur/industrialist?  It is like celebrating/recognising the death of the son of a Rothschild or a Carnegie.

PS: All those who are triggered by this post please take a deep breath and drink a glass of water.
