Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, passed away on Wednesday, October 9, due to age-related health issues. As the news of his passing spread, tributes poured in from across the world. Among the many heartfelt tributes was a special illustration shared by Amul on Instagram, a brand known for its thoughtful topicals. The dairy brand paid homage to Tata with a poignant post that captured the deep respect felt for the industrialist.
A touching black-and-white image showed Ratan Tata seated on a chair, holding a piece of paper, and a younger version of him riding a bicycle. The illustration has “Poore vatan ka Ratan. Ratan Tata (1937-2024)” written on it. The caption said, “Amul Topical: Tribute to the business tycoon with a heart of gold.”

The moment Amul shared this on their Instagram page, reactions started pouring in. “We were waiting for this! amazing. Vatan ka ratan!” wrote one individual in the comments. Another user commented, “So much love whilst he lived and much more after he’s gone. Love & Respect to the legend of the century.” A third user wrote, “This really brought tears to my eyes.”
Amul has a knack for creatively paying tribute to well-known figures, always finding a way to capture people’s attention.
Tata was a visionary leader who steered the Tata Group twice—from 1991 to 2012, and briefly from 2016 to 2017—and remained involved with the company’s charitable trusts long after stepping down from his official duties.
