PM Modi Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Late Industrialist Ratan Tata

Marking a month since the passing of India’s beloved industrialist Ratan Tata, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a heartfelt tribute reflecting on Tata’s unparalleled contributions to Indian industry, philanthropy and society.

The absence of Tata, a revered figure across generations, is “deeply felt across every segment of society,” Prime Minister Modi said. He noted that seasoned industrialists, young entrepreneurs, dedicated professionals, environmental advocates, and philanthropists all mourn his loss.

“For the youth, Shri Ratan Tata was an inspiration—a reminder that dreams are worth pursuing and that success can coexist with compassion as well as humility,” Modi remarked.

Ratan Tata, who passed away on October 9 at the age of 86, was one of India’s most internationally respected business leaders. Under his leadership, the Tata Group—one of India’s largest conglomerates, with revenues exceeding $100 billion—became known globally for its integrity, excellence, and social responsibility. Yet, despite his achievements, Tata was “remarkably humble and kind,” Modi observed.

Modi highlighted Tata’s impact on India’s startup ecosystem, noting that he “understood the hopes and aspirations of young entrepreneurs” and saw the potential they held to shape India’s future. Through his investments, Tata empowered “a generation of dreamers to take bold risks and push boundaries.” This support, Modi added, has fostered a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship that will continue to benefit India for years to come.

The Prime Minister also praised Tata’s compassion for animals, saying, “His greatness was not restricted to the boardroom or to helping fellow humans; his compassion extended to all living beings.” Tata’s commitment to animal welfare was well-known, further illustrating the depth of his empathy.

Modi reflected on Tata’s patriotism, particularly during times of crisis. After the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, Tata’s swift reopening of the Taj Hotel served as a “rallying call to the nation—India stands united, refusing to yield to terrorism,” Modi recalled.

On a personal note, Modi spoke warmly of his close relationship with Tata, sharing memories of their work together in Gujarat. He highlighted the recent inauguration of an aircraft complex in Vadodara, an initiative Tata had championed, noting how much his presence was missed at the occasion.

Reflecting on Tata’s support for the Swachh Bharat Mission, Modi remembered him as a “vocal advocate” for the campaign, understanding the importance of cleanliness and sanitation for India’s progress. Tata’s final public appearance, Modi added, included a moving message for the Mission’s tenth anniversary.

Healthcare, particularly cancer care, was another cause close to Tata’s heart. Modi recounted their joint inauguration of cancer hospitals in Assam, where Tata expressed his desire to dedicate his final years to healthcare.

As the nation remembers him, Modi described Tata’s vision of a society where “business can serve as a force for good, where every individual’s potential is valued, and where progress is measured in the well-being and happiness of all.” Tata “remains alive in the lives he touched and the dreams he nurtured,” Modi said, concluding that “Generations will be grateful to him for making India a better, kinder and more hopeful place.”
