R.I.P. Ratan Tata Sir
The clock has stopped ticking. The Titan passes away. #RatanTata was a beacon of integrity, ethical leadership and philanthropy, who has imprinted an indelible mark on the world of business and beyond. He will forever soar high in our memories. R.I.P
RIP may his soul reach heaven and even do more miracles
RIP to one of the most genuine Entrepreneurs our country had and most likely will ever have
Mera unse milne ka sapna, sapna hi reh gaya 💔.
I will surely visit Tata House tomorrow to see him one last time, and I’m sure thousands of people will be there to pay their respects. Anyone from Mumbai can join!

"CM Shinde - Tata's mortal remains will be kept at NCPA from 10 am to 4 pm on Thursday for public to pay respect"

I was fortunate enough to see him this close, guys! Darshan le lo!
He will always be the hero who bought failed business and make them successful. Rest In Piece Sir
Rest in peace champ
May he Rest in Peace. 😢
He was indeed a true GEM of India and a humble person.
An upright and honest leader seen as Mr.Clean in a business environment mired with corruption
A billionaire who never made an ostentatious display of his wealth
A REAL philanthropist
A man who stayed away from the politicians-crony captilaists nexus
So many great qualities you want to see in a leader running multiple business (as opposed to you know who)
And a BIG animal Lover.
So sad to see him go... will be tough to see another business magnate like him

Rest in peace Sir .. you will never be forgotten..
"One day you will realize that material things mean nothing. All that matters is the well-being of the people you love." Ratan Tata ji
Sir leaves behind a legacy.
His mobility was severely impaired in the last few years🥺.
Yet, his spirit and sense of humour was as they were.
Despite being a Tata, when he first came to the the helm of the affairs, there were MANY many challenges that stared back at him.
He did what he did and remember.. that was the era when licence raj was still around, that was an era when labour unions were more powerful than politicians, industrialists and usually got their way with the others.
Not to mention the usual corporate dynamics, politics.
I still remember that one interaction.. when we often saw 'many' (Mercedes) cars lying around in a specific lot in the Tata colonies or Tata company premises
It was unsold inventory.
At this semi informal gathering when he visited TELCO.. someone (not company staff, not an employee.. but one of us) posed some question about the same.
(The Europeans had partnered with the Tata group, who imported the CKD kits, then assembled them here.)
Now that one sees Bhavish Aggarwal and the way he is mishandling the Ola fiasco..
.. one cannot help but remember the poise and grace with which he responded to the person and addressed us.
No frown or any change of expression any DEFINITELY not even a hint of irritation or anger.
Years and years, decades of maturity.
Even then, he could bring humour into the conversation.. we were told.. during serious deliberations, meetings too.
Later, although I did not get to share space with him ever, others in the Tata group or in his close circle often spoke of how the downward spiral of the Nano (mini car) project pained him.
He still took it in his stride and as a learning experience.
I am not here to write paeans of praise or to just portray him in good light.
Yes, he too DID explicitly authorise politicians 💷to be kept happy💵 or silenced enough💸 to not sabotage some important project.
He too did have to buckle under or chose to side with one side.. in their internal family politics.. which spilled over into the corporate realm and had consequences for the Tata group, the investors the shareholders.
But none of that changes my larger, overall view of him.
I still view him the way I did.
It did pain me, others.. that after having certain experiences, events earlier on in his life.. he chose to remain single forever.
He leaves us all with an indelible mark, both in his professional career and his personal life.
Heartfelt consequences and prayers.💐
