In a somber turn of events, the city of Mumbai mourns the loss of Ratan Tata, the esteemed chairman emeritus and veteran industrialist of the Tata Group. On Wednesday evening, Tata passed away at the age of 83 at the Breach Candy Hospital in south Mumbai, as confirmed by a top police official to PTI.
Tata, who was the recipient of the prestigious Padma Vibhushan award, leaves behind a legacy of immense accomplishments and contributions to not only the Tata Group but also to the nation as a whole. In a statement, Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran expressed his deep sorrow at the loss of his friend, mentor, and guide, stating that Tata's leadership, commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation have left an indelible mark on the company and the nation.
During his tenure as chairman, which began in 1991, Tata led the Tata Group to new heights, expanding its global footprint while staying true to its moral compass. His dedication to philanthropy and social development has touched the lives of millions and will continue to benefit future generations, as stated by Chandrasekharan.
The news of Tata's passing has also deeply affected Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who paid tribute to him as a visionary business leader, compassionate soul, and extraordinary human being. Modi commended Tata's passion for giving back to society and championing important causes such as education, healthcare, sanitation, and animal welfare.
Just two days before his passing, Tata had reassured everyone that there was no cause for concern regarding his health and that he was simply undergoing check-ups for age-related medical conditions. He led the Tata Group for over two decades, from March 1991 to December 2012, as the Chairman of Tata Sons.
Tata's philanthropy and social responsibility have not gone unnoticed, with NCP chief Sharad Pawar also remembering him for his contributions to the country during humanitarian crises and natural disasters. Pawar praised Tata for charting his own path to success through his commitment to social responsibility.
In his last social media message, Tata had stated that there was no need for concern and that he remained in good spirits. Though he may no longer be with us, his legacy will continue to live on through the Tata Group and his remarkable contributions to society. May his soul rest in peace.
