Ratan Tata, the esteemed former chairman of Tata Sons, has died at the age of 86, as confirmed by a statement from the Tata Group. He passed away on October 9 in a Mumbai hospital, where he had been receiving treatment in critical care.
In a heartfelt tribute, N Chandrasekaran, the current chairman of Tata Sons, expressed, “It is with profound sorrow that we say goodbye to Mr. Ratan Naval Tata, a remarkable leader whose invaluable contributions have not only shaped the Tata Group but also influenced the very essence of our nation.”
