Ratan Naval Tata is no more

India has lost a national icon—a larger-than-life figure who blended corporate growth with nation-building and excellence with ethics. Recipient of Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan, he took forward the great Tata legacy and gave it a more impressive global presence. He inspired seasoned professionals and young students alike. His contribution to philanthropy and charity is invaluable.

“For the Tata Group, Mr. Tata was more than a chairperson. He inspired by example. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation, the Tata Group under his stewardship expanded its global footprint while always remaining true to its moral compass.

Mr. Tata’s dedication to philanthropy and the development of society has touched the lives of millions. From education to healthcare, his initiatives have left a deep-rooted mark that will benefit future generations. Mr. Tata’s genuine humility in every individual interaction reinforced all of this work.

I extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones on behalf of the entire Tata family. His legacy will continue to inspire us as we strive to uphold the principles he so passionately championed,” said N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons.
