- DOING THE RIGHT THING - THE DEFINING CHARACTERISTIC OF RATAN TATA
Ratan Tata (born 28 December 1937) strode colossus-like across fields spanning the complete development spectrum from salt to software, hotels to airlines, automobiles to hospitals, etc. His towering personality, raising the bar, innovation drive, sense of compassion, smiling face, and twinkling eyes will be sorely missed worldwide.
It’s still early days since the death of Ratan Tata on 9 October 2024. Hence the full impact of the loss and the vacuum in India’s body politic will take some time to sink in. While tributes and eulogies are still pouring in, let me make an assessment, howsoever inadequate, of the life and times of Ratan Tata, the man and the milieu, the distinguished tradition of the house of Tatas and the dazzling individual talent of Ratan Tata, who catapulted Tatas to a higher orbit- an orbit not just of organizational excellence but also of individual brilliance, familiar with the big picture but in no way oblivious of granular ground-level details.
