  • Ratan Tata, India's Corporate Czar, Retires with a $500 Billion Vision
    Ratan Tata, India's Corporate Czar, Retires With a $500 Billion Vision By Chandrahas Choudhury Jan 3, 2013 9:00 PM GMT+0100 Last week, Ratan Tata retired on his 75th birthday after more than two decades in charge of the Indian corporate behemoth Tata Sons Ltd. Tata will be succeeded by Cyrus Mistry, 44. The house of Tata owns dozens of prominent Indian businesses and brands, from the Taj Group of luxury hotels to the super-inexpensive Tata Nano car. It is widely perceived to represent Indian capitalism at its best, enjoying the goodwill of millions of customers, the loyalty of more than 400,000 employees and the investments of 3.8 million shareholders, while also reinvesting a substantial part of its profits into philanthropic work overseen by a set of trusts. Tata's tenure at the helm was notable for its longevity, ambition and stewardship of a venerable tradition. (The family-owned house of Tata was founded in 1868 and had only four chairmen before Ratan Tata, including the legendary J.R.D. Tata, Ratan's uncle and immediate predecessor, who ran the business from 1938 to 1991.) But Tata's leadership was especially meaningful because it ran exactly concurrent to a new phase of Indian capitalism itself, and mirrored India's rise as an economic superpower. Tata's reign began in 1991, the same year that India's socialist government was forced to deregulate the economy after a balance-of-payments crisis, abruptly throwing the country into the currents of globalization. Suddenly, the biggest Indian business houses, which had long been inward-looking and protected by government controls, faced the prospect of having to compete with the best in the world.

    THE INDIAN HOTELS COMPANY LIMITED Mandlik House, Mandlik Road, Mumbai, 400 001. www.tajhotels.com THE INDIAN HOTELS COMPANY LIMITED 113th annual report 2013 - 2014 [email protected] PDF processed with CutePDF evaluation edition www.CutePDF.com Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces promises timeless luxury, discreet and attentive service and a meticulous attention to detail. Our new global advertising campaign has been conceived to articulate these qualities in a manner that’s both arresting and attractive. The campaign theme of Performance.Art affirms our luxury brand’s positioning as a proud purveyor of traditional Indian hospitality reinterpreted for tomorrow. It also underlines our ceaseless quest for perfection. Two insights provided inspiration for this idea. First, that the effortless performance of superlative hospitality is actually the product of painstaking practice. Second, when perfected, any form of human endeavour – whether it be academic, sporting or artistic – is elevated to an art form. Like theatre, music or dance, hotel keeping, too, can be viewed as an art form; one that relies equally on precise choreography and passionate performers. When perfected, hospitality itself is truly a Performance.Art. —— To know more visit Tajhotels.com/performanceart Annual Report 2013-2014 CONTENTS Company Information 2 Financial Highlights 3 Notice 4 - 12 Directors’ Report 13 - 17 Management Discussion and Analysis 18 - 38 Report on Corporate Governance 39 - 53 Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives 54 - 55 Standalone Financials Break-up of Total Expenses 56 Auditors’ Report 57 - 61 Balance Sheet 62 Statement of Profit and Loss 63 Cash Flow Statement 64 - 65 Notes to Financial Statements 66 - 107 Financial Statistics 108 - 109 Consolidated Financials Auditors’ Report 110 - 111 Financial Statements 112 - 159 Consolidated Financial Statistics 160 1 The Indian Hotels Company Limited COMPANY INFORMATION Board of Directors Management Cyrus P.
