Ratan Tata led the Tata Group from 1990 to 2012 and briefly returned as interim chairman in 2016. He was honored with India’s highest civilian awards—the Padma Bhushan in 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2008. Despite being a global business giant, Tata led a humble personal life, never marrying and leaving behind no children. His words, “I came close to getting married four times and each time I backed off in fear or for one reason or another,” spoke to his personal choices.
