Who can do love, friendship and leadership like Ratan Tata? Why does it feel as if one of our own is gone?


Ratan Tata, a name that the people of India used to take with pride. Whenever he/she heard or talked about them, it felt as if he/she was talking about someone close to him/her. A businessman making a home in the hearts of the general public in this way is no less than a fictional story. But Tata was Tata. Be it love, friendship or leadership, it is not easy to be like him/her. This is the reason why it is difficult to imagine that any other businessman will ever get the love that Tata received from the people.

There is such sadness after losing the business tycoon at the age of 86, as if everyone has lost a loved one. After all, what was it about Ratan Tata that, despite being a calculative businessman, made him/her a person with whom people could connect and look up to as their inspiration.

Due to some family reasons, Tata had to return to India. he/she wanted his/her girlfriend to also come here. However, the girl’s parents did not allow her to do so due to the Indo-China War of 1962. And Tata’s love story remained incomplete.

This entire episode was heartbreaking for Ratan Tata. In such a situation people get scattered and broken. It seems as if they have lost the purpose of their life. But Tata neither allowed himself to be broken nor did he/she allow any kind of bitterness or hatred to form in his/her heart. Rather, gentleness was always visible in his/her personality.

Everyone can guess what status people would occupy in Ratan Tata’s circle. his/her friend circle was full of the most powerful people in the world. But friendship cannot be measured on power and money.

Ratan seemed to be giving a clear message about this. In the year 2022, a young boy Shantanu Naidu joined Tata company and no one had imagined that Ratan would extend his/her hand of friendship to him/her. It is said that the bond between the two was such that Tata used to share his/her things openly with Shantanu, who was less than half his/her age.

In today’s time, it is difficult to imagine that anyone would feel this way for any other tycoon. That’s why people considered him/her an ideal for themselves and will continue to consider him/her.
