With profound sadness, we mourn the loss of Sri Ratan Tata, a visionary who led with compassion, integrity, and an unwavering sense of duty.
His selflessness, like skipping an award to care for his dog, his resilience during the 26/11 attacks, and his bold acquisitions of Jaguar and Land Rover, have left indelible marks on the world.
He built bridges between business and humanity, uplifted startups, and championed employee welfare. His legacy as a leader, philanthropist, and kind-hearted individual will forever inspire us.
