Indian industrialist Ratan Naval Tata, who served as the previous chairman of Tata Sons, was born on December 28, 1937. He served as the Tata Group's chairman from 1990 to 2012 and as acting chairman from October 2016 to February 2017. He still serves as its charity trusts' director. [2][3] After obtaining the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian honor, in 2000, he was awarded the second-highest civilian honor, the Padma Vibhushan, in 2008.
Tata was granted a management role inside the Tata company in the 1970s. He first found success by revitalizing the subsidiary National Radio and Electronics (NELCO), only to witness its demise after a downturn in the economy. J. R. D. Tata appointed him as his successor when he resigned as chairman of Tata Sons in 1991. The heads of the different subsidiaries first put up a lot of resistance to Tata since they had a lot of operational flexibility during the reign of the senior Tata. In response, Tata put in place various measures aimed at consolidating control, including raising the retirement age, compelling subsidiaries to report directly to the group headquarters, and mandating that they use their profits to promote the Tata group brand. Innovation was prioritized at Tata, and numerous tasks were given to youthful employees. Under his direction, the organization exited unrelated companies to tackle globalization and simplified overlapping activities between subsidiaries into company-wide operations.
Ratan Tata was given the third and second highest civilian honors by the Indian government, the Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan, respectively, in 2000 and 2008. Along with receiving numerous national civilian honors, Tata has also received numerous state civilian awards, including the Maharashtra Bhushan in 2006 for his enormous contributions to Maharashtra's public administration and the Assam Baibhav in 2021 for his outstanding work in advancing cancer treatment in Assam.
Bharat Ratna J.R.D. Tata founded an airline in 1932, realizing his ambition and beginning the path that would become Air India. His love of flying, which led him to become the first Indian to acquire a commercial pilot's license, ignited the beginnings of Air India with the introduction of a postal service from then-Bombay to Karachi via Ahmedabad. He just regained ownership of his aviation company.
