History
1839–1904

Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore foundation was

laid by Jamshedji Tata
Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata was born in 1839. Tata graduated from Elphinstone College in
Bombay in 1858. Shortly afterwards, he joined his father's trading firm that dealt in general
merchandise. There, the junior Tata took a special interest in developing trade with China.

The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai is owned by Tata

Group
When the American Civil War caused a boom in the Bombay cotton market, Tata and his father
joined the Asiatic Banking Corporation. When the tide ebbed, Tata's credit was left desolate.
Fortunately, the firm's credit was re-established during the next three years. A share in the
lucrative contract for the commissariat of Napier's expedition to Abyssinia in 1868 restored the
family fortune." In 1870 with Rs.21,000 capital, he founded a trading company.[19] Further, he
bought a bankrupt oil mill at Chinchpokli and converted it into a cotton mill, under the name
Alexandra Mill which he sold for a profit after two years. In 1874, he set up another cotton mill
at Nagpur named Empress Mill. He dreamed of achieving four goals, setting up an iron and steel
company, a unique hotel, a world-class learning institution, and a hydroelectric plant. During his
lifetime, in 1903, the Taj Mahal Hotel at Colaba waterfront was opened making it the first hotel
with electricity in British India.

1904–1938[edit]
After Jamsetji's death, his older son Dorabji Tata became the chairman in 1904.[19] Sir Dorabji
established the Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO), now known as Tata Steel in 1907.

Marking the group's global ambitions, Tata Limited opened its first overseas office in London.
Following the founder's goals, Western India's first hydro plant was brought to life, giving birth
to Tata Power. Yet another dream, Indian Institute of Science was established with the first group
of students admitted in 1911.

J. R. D. Tata was made chairman of the Tata Group in 1938. Under his chairmanship, the assets
of the Tata Group grew from US$101 million to over US$5 billion. Starting with 14 enterprises,
upon his departure half a century later in 1988, Tata Sons had grown to a conglomerate of 95
enterprises. These enterprises consisted of ventures that the company had either started or in
which they held a controlling interest. New sectors such as chemicals, technology, cosmetics,
marketing, engineering, manufacturing, tea, and software services earned them recognition.[20]

In 1932, JRD founded an airline, known as Tata Air Services (later renamed Tata Airlines). In
1953, the Government of India passed the Air Corporations Act and purchased a majority stake
in the carrier from Tata Sons, though JRD Tata would continue as chairman till 1977.

In 1945, Tata Motors was founded, first focused on locomotives. In 1954, it entered the
commercial vehicle market after forming a joint venture with Daimler-Benz. In 1968, Tata
Consultancy Services was founded.

1991–Present[edit]

Ratan Tata, the former chairman of the company led the

acquisition of several companies by Tata Group
In 1991, Ratan Tata became chairman of Tata Group.[22] This was also the year of economic
liberalization in India, opening up the market to foreign competitors.[23] During this time, Tata
Group began to acquire several companies. Tata Group bought Tetley In February 2000. After
that, it acquired Corus Group in 2007. In the year 2008, it acquired Jaguar and Land Rover. The
company's subsidiary Tata Motors launched the Tata Nano which they presented as "the world’s
most affordable car" in 2008.

In 2017, Natarajan Chandrasekaran was appointed chairman. He was instrumental in

restructuring business verticals and increasing promoter stake ownership in companies. Under
his leadership, the group made acquisitions through insolvency law and investments in E-
commerce, expanded its airline business by winning a bid for Air India, and completely bought
Air Asia India. He has mentioned the future strategy is to focus on healthcare, electronics, and
digital.

Tata Owned Air India got approval to acquire AirAsia India, nearly two months after putting forth
the proposal. The Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved the acquisition of the entire
shareholding in Air Asia India by Tata-owned Air India.
