Born in Mumbai in 1937 during the British Raj, Ratan Tata is the son of Naval Tata, who the Tata family adopted. He is known for his simplicity and humble nature, often described as a loner and shy. Despite being one of the most influential people in India, he leads an ordinary life and stays away from the limelight. He even drives himself to work in his Tata sedan.
The Tata family gained prominence when Jamshedji Tata established a textile mill that provided accident and pension facilities to its workers, which was unprecedented at the time. Ratan Tata’s legacy has continued this tradition of social responsibility, as he has initiated several philanthropic projects through the Tata Trusts, which focus on healthcare, education, and rural development.
