Ratan Tata Start-up

Ratan Tata was not supposed to be the Group Chairman. But he scripted an unlikely and indelible chapter in Indian business history

Ratan Tata, the former chairman of Tata Sons, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 86 in Mumbai. Under his leadership, the Group transformed from an Indian-focussed entity to a global powerhouse

Ratan Tata's own instincts seemed to have nudged him in a different direction, while he never gave up on manufacturing, he always believed that Indian companies should be global

Ratan Tata announced an undisclosed investment into startup Goodfellows that offers companionship to senior citizens as a service

Tata, who also invests in start-ups, also said old-age businesses will recede and the young founders of innovative companies are the future leaders of the Indian industry
