Ratan Tata, the chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, passed away after being admitted in critical condition and receiving treatment in the intensive care unit of a Mumbai hospital. The 86-year-old business leader had been undergoing routine medical checkups due to his age and related health conditions, which had led to his hospitalization.
Known for his contributions to business and philanthropy, Ratan Tata led the Tata Group through significant growth, leaving an indelible mark on India’s corporate landscape. Despite his vast fortune, estimated at ₹3,800 crore, he was admired for his modest lifestyle and deep commitment to charitable causes through Tata Trusts.
With no children of his own, the question of who will inherit his legacy has been a topic of speculation for many years. His half-brother, Noel Tata, and Noel’s children—Maya, Neville, and Leah Tata—are seen as potential successors to the Tata empire. Each of them has already taken on important roles within the Tata Group, contributing to its continued success.
Ratan Tata’s passing marks the end of an era for one of India’s most iconic industrialists, leaving behind a legacy of business excellence and philanthropy that will continue to shape the future of the Tata Group.
