  • Jamsetji Tata (1839-1904) February 10, 2004 Life in Business Community Quotes Tributes Trusts Pictures
    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.
