INDIA recently lamented the loss of one of its most cherished industrialists, a “truly uncommon leader”, Ratan Tata, who passed away on Oct 9, 2024, and left behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and inspirational leadership.

It certainly makes sense that the loyal and appreciative Tata Group employees would grieve the passing of a compassionate and generous superboss. Also, the elites of various spheres of society – politics, entertainment, sports, or business – who had the chance to interact closely with the chairman/chairman emeritus of the conglomerate would naturally express their condolences and offer tributes.
