Anupam Mittal, Founder and CEO of People Group, took to social media to pay his respects to Ratan Tata, who passed away at the age of 86. Mittal’s heartfelt message emphasized the profound impact Tata had on India and the values he embodied throughout his life and career.
In his tribute, Mittal remarked that while India lost a legacy with Tata’s passing, the lessons he left behind will continue to echo for generations. He admired Tata’s style of leadership, noting that it wasn’t about being the loudest or most forceful presence in the room, but about being gentle, empathetic, and kind. He described Tata as a leader who, like a skilled jockey, guided without overpowering, and praised his ability to build a lasting legacy with grace and authenticity.
Mittal’s reflection on Tata stands in contrast to what he described as the “narcissistic, egotistical” figures often celebrated today. He expressed that the heavy feeling of loss is shared across India, with Tata’s wisdom continuing to inspire.
Tata’s legacy, according to Mittal, was one of humility and compassion, and his famous quote, “If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together,” continues to resonate with millions who admired him.
