Tata Sons
Tata Sons is the principal investment holding company of the Tata Group, one of India's largest and most respected conglomerates. Established in 1868 by Jamsetji Tata, the company has a legacy of over 150 years in diverse sectors such as steel, automobiles, information technology, telecommunications, and consumer goods. With over 100 operating companies under its umbrella, Tata Sons has contributed significantly to India's industrial and economic growth.
Ratan Tata, who led Tata Sons from 1991 to 2012, played a pivotal role in shaping the group into a global powerhouse. Under his leadership, Tata Sons made several landmark acquisitions, including the purchase of UK-based Tetley Tea, Corus Steel, and Jaguar Land Rover, which elevated the group’s global standing. Known for his visionary leadership, Ratan Tata was revered for his emphasis on ethics, philanthropy, and innovation, making him an iconic figure in corporate India.
On October 9, 2024, Ratan Tata passed away, marking the end of an era in Indian business. His death has left a deep void, not just in the Tata Group but also across the global corporate and philanthropic sectors. Tributes have poured in from world leaders, industrialists, and common citizens alike, recognizing his immense contributions to the nation and his indomitable spirit of service.
Tata's legacy, which encompasses both commercial success and a commitment to community welfare, remains deeply embedded in the ethos of the Tata Group. His guiding principles continue to shape the future of Tata Sons, now under the stewardship of Natarajan Chandrasekaran, who succeeded him as Chairman. As the group moves forward, Ratan Tata’s impact on Indian industry and society will remain unparalleled.
