RATAN TATA : AN ETHICAL CORPORATE LEADER

Ratan Tata was born on December 28, 1937 in

Mumbai, India.
Studied at the Campion School in Mumbai

followed by studies in architecture and structural engineering at Cornell University.

 He graduated with his bachelors degree in 1962

and joined the Tata Group in December the same year.

His first job was in Tata Steel division where he

worked with the blue-collar employees shoveling stone and working with the furnaces.

 One hundred years from now, I expect the Tatas

to be much bigger than it is now. More importantly, I hope the Group comes to be

regarded as being the best in India.. best in the

manner in which we operate, best in the products

we deliver, and best in our value systems and

ethics.

 I am proud of my country. But we need to unite

to make a unified India, free of communalism and casteism. We need to build India into a land of equal opportunity for all. We can be a truly great nation if we set our sights high and deliver to the people the fruits of continued growth,

prosperity and equal opportunity.

 Some foreign investors accuse us of being

unfair to shareholders by using our resources for community development. Yes, this is money that could have made for dividend payouts, but it also is money thats uplifting and improving the quality of life of people in the rural areas where we

operate and work. We owe them that.

 In 1985 aviation minister asked for Rs.15 crore of

bribe from Ratan Tata to let TATA group enter into the aviation sector.

 It was against Ratan Tata s ethics and thats why

he did not enter into the aviation business at that time.

He has never compromised with his ethics and

thats why he is one of the most respected business leader of India.

Ratan Tata is one of the very few industrialists of

India who has never bribed anyone and still run their businesses successfully.
