Ratan Tata, an icon of Indian industry and a celebrated industralist, has died at the age of 86. A few days ago, his condition took a turn for the worse and he was admitted to a Mumbai hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Ratan Tata’s influence is not only seen in the companies he founded, but also in the values ​​of integrity, culture and nation-building he espouses. He leaves a legacy beyond business, inspiring generations of entrepreneurs and leaders around the world.
Ratan Tata, who led the Tata Group from 1991 to 2012, was instrumental in building the salt-to-computer group from a domestic industry leader to a global giant. . Under his visionary leadership, the group expanded its global presence by acquiring iconic brands such as Jaguar Land Rover, Corus Steel and Tetley Tea.
With his love for cars, Ratan Tata devoted himself to Tata Motors, which he single-handedly transformed from a truck manufacturer to a full-fledged car company, eventually acquiring Jaguar Land Rover. His idea, the Tata Indica, was a hugely successful product for the first time an Indian company allowed itself to compete directly with the global giants. The Tata Nano was one of Ratan Tata’s ideas that failed to appeal to consumers, but inspired many car manufacturers around the world to create their own low-cost cars. The Renault Kwid is an example of Nano’s influence
