Ratan Tata, the Chairman Emeritus of Tata Group, passed away late Wednesday night in Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai. 


Governor Radhakrishnan, in his social media post on X (formerly Twitter), said, "Shri Ratan Tata was one of the brightest jewels of the global Tata empire founded by late Jamshedji Tata 150 years ago. Adopting modern management practices, Ratan Tata established the Tata Group as a trusted Indian global brand, without ever compromising with the vision of the founding fathers."



"The Tata Group has touched the lives of each of the 140 crore people of India through its products and services; the credit goes as much to the vision of Ratan Tata as to the Tata Group," he told the news agency.
