    Jamsetji Tata (1839-1904) February 10, 2004 Life in Business Community Quotes Tributes Trusts pictures Jamsetji Tata's business philosophy was enshrined in values that made the country and its people partners in and beneficiaries of the wealth-creation process There are many reasons why India is beginning to shine on the economic front. One of the less-trumpeted ones can be traced to the late 19th century, when a band of homegrown entrepreneurs laid the seeds of indigenous industrialisation. The outstanding Indian businessman of the time was Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, industrialist, nationalist, humanist and the founder of the House of Tata. The industrialist in Jamsetji Tata was a pioneer and a visionary. The nationalist in him believed unwaveringly that the fruits of his business success would enrich a country he cared deeply about. But what made Jamsetji Tata truly unique, the quality that places him in the pantheon of modern India's greatest sons, was his humaneness. Jamsetji Tata rose to prominence in an era during which rapacious capitalism was the order of the day. America's 'robber barons' and their equivalents elsewhere in the world, including India, had come to define what the enterprise of moneymaking was all about: cruel to workers and uncaring of society, predatory in nature and ravenous in creed. Jamsetji Tata, though, was cut from a different cloth. The distinctive structure the Tata Group came to adopt, with a Related Articles huge part of its assets being held by trusts devoted to ploughing The giant who touched money into social-development initiatives, can be traced directly tomorrow to the empathy embedded in the founder's philosophy of Standing tall business.

  • Tata Sons - Passing the Baton.Docx
    C:\Users\Firdoshktolat\Documents\Interesting\Tatas\Tata Sons - Passing The Baton.Docx TATA SONS: PASSING THE BATON By Jehangir Pocha The author is the co-promoter of INX News This article appeared in Forbes India Magazine of 16 December, 2011 http://forbesindia.com/article/boardroom/tata-sons-passing-the-baton/31052/0#ixzz1k4cATEGO There's a continuing thread of history in Cyrus Mistry's appointment as Ratan Tata's successor. But the move is also testimony to Tata's professionalism and sincerity. The passing of a crown is always a delicate affair. In 1991, when J.R.D. Tata handed his to Ratan Naval Tata, his courtiers had rebelled. It took time for RNT to subdue the satraps and prove JRD’s decision on his successor was perhaps his finest. But then JRD was always renowned for his ability to pick men. The circumstances around anointing RNT’s successor exactly two decades later were rather different. The world and the Tata’s had changed. It would take more than an arbitrary announcement from RNT to achieve a smooth succession in what is now one of the world’s largest conglomerates. So, if Cyrus P. Mistry is the first Tata head to have been crowned by a committee rather than a King, and the first from outside India Inc.’s first family, it is a testament to Tatas’ ability to move with the times. Yet, to those who know Tatas and its history, there is also no doubt that there is a continuing thread of history in Mistry’s appointment. Ties between the Mistry and Tata families have been close — and contentious — ever since 1936 when Cyrus’s grandfather Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry bought 17.5% of Tatas’ main holding company, Tata Sons.

    Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhai Tata Born: July 29, 1904 Died: on November 29, 1993 Achievements: He had the honor of being India's first pilot; was Chairman of Tata & Sons for 50 years; launched Air India International as India's first international airline; received Bharat Ratna in 1992. JRD Tata was one of the most enterprising Indian entrepreneurs. He was a pioneer aviator and built one of the largest industrial houses of India. JRD Tata was born on July 29, 1904 in Paris. His mother was a French, while his father was Parsi. JRD's full name was Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata and he was popularly known as Jeh to his friends. JRD's father Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata and Sri Jamsetji Tata shared their greatness from the same great-great-grandfather, Ervad Jamsheed Tata, a priest of Navsari. JRD Tata was the second of four children. He was educated in France, Japan and England before being drafted into the French army for a mandatory one-year period. JRD wanted to extend his service in the forces but destiny had something else in store for him. By leaving the French army JRD's life was saved because shortly thereafter, the regiment in which he served was totally wiped out during an expedition in Morocco. JRD Tata joined Tata & Sons as an unpaid apprentice in 1925. He has great interest in flying. On February 10, 1929, JRD became the first Indian to pass the pilot's examination. With this distinctive honor of being India's first pilot, he was instrumental in giving wings to India by building Tata Airlines, which ultimately became Air India.

The means and methods of achieving this objective have evolved over a century and a quarter since the setting up, in 1892, of the JN Tata Endowment for the higher education of Indians, the first step in the creation of what is now collectively known as Tata Trusts. Our allegiance to the legacy and values that sustain us has remained constant, but we have changed course over the recent past to enhance the effectiveness of the numerous projects and programmes that we are involved with across India’s social development spectrum. Strategy and long-term goals, technology and innovation, collaboration and cooperation, sustainability and scalability are now more crucial than ever before for Tata Trusts.

I am far from decrying the noble spirit which seeks to help a poor or suffering fellow being. However, what advances a nation or a community is not so much to prop up its weakest and most helpless members, but to lift up the best and the most gifted, so as to make them of the greatest service to the country. ~ JAMSETJI TATA Sir Ratan Tata Trust & Allied Trusts | Annual Report 2017-2018 1 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN The country today is reflective of both youthful energy and mature musings. As it is with the Trusts, which are balancing areas of national importance, with the work that began more than a century ago. The Trusts have endeavoured to be compassionate, harnessing creative thinking to achieve results desired by the beneficiaries. As they develop competence in executing projects at scale on ground, they are also acutely conscious of the strengths that lie in collaboratively working with like-minded partners to accelerate social change. It is this flexibility in approach that marks the signs of change. In the last year, the Trusts have undertaken work that may galvanise the way we address cancer care in the nation. The aim is to make specialised care accessible and to provide a uniform quality of treatment to all.

I am far from decrying the noble spirit which seeks to help a poor or suffering fellow being. However, what advances a nation or a community is not so much to prop up its weakest and most helpless members, but to lift up the best and the most gifted, so as to make them of the greatest service to the country. ~ JAMSETJI TATA SIR DORABJI TATA TRUST & ALLIED TRUSTS | ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Over the past year, the Tata Trusts have continued to focus on issues and causes of national importance and on the creation of opportunities for lower income communities in India. The Trusts have been actively involved with initiatives announced by our Prime Minister, as well as in the areas of water conservation, sanitation, cancer care and rural upliftment. In February 2019, one such state-of-the-art cancer facility in Varanasi, equipped with facilities for early detection and treatment, was inaugurated by the Prime Minister. The Trusts are participating in similar projects with the government, such as ‘Lakhpati Kisan’, which will help create rural empowerment by creating jobs and livelihoods for over 1,00,000 households. Partnerships with like-minded foundations and research institutions have helped create self-sustaining ecosystems which benefit society as a whole. The Trusts have traditionally supported or actively collaborated with various globally renowned research entities, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of California, San Diego on projects such as low-cost medical devices and the elimination of the malaria toxin carried by mosquitoes.
