Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, also took to X to express his sorrow, stating, “I am extremely pained by his passing away.” Modi acknowledged Tata’s unparalleled contribution to the country, recognizing his role in shaping modern India’s business and philanthropic landscape.

Ratan Tata led the Tata Group, one of India’s largest conglomerates, as chairman from 1990 until 2012. He briefly returned as interim chairman in 2016 before stepping down in early 2017. Even after retiring from the top position, Tata remained at the forefront of his charitable initiatives, overseeing the Tata Trusts.

Born into the Tata family, Ratan Tata was the son of Naval Tata, who was adopted by Ratanji Tata, the son of Tata Group founder Jamsetji Tata. His leadership, vision, and commitment to ethical business practices have cemented his place as one of India’s most admired and beloved figures.
