Ratan Naval Tata, the Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, has passed away at the age of 86 due to health problems according to his age. He was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital on Monday, which caused many people in business, politics, and the general public to worry and speculate about his health condition.
Ratan was not just a businessman but was more than that. He had been one of those people in Indian history who served people like a real hero. After his death on October 10, the cricketers of the Indian Cricket team could not hold themselves and they paid tribute to the most visionary person of India.
The legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar took his official X handle and wrote -“In his life, and demise, Mr Ratan Tata has moved the nation. I was fortunate to spend time with him, but millions, who have never met him, feel the same grief that I feel today. Such is his impact. From his love for animals to philanthropy, he showed that true progress can only be achieved when we care for those who don’t have the means to take care of themselves. Rest in peace, Mr Tata. Your legacy will continue to live through the institutions you built and values that you embraced.”
The former Indian middle-order batter Suresh Raina wrote, “India has lost a true icon. Ratan Tata Sir’s visionary leadership, compassion, and unwavering commitment to philanthropy have left an indelible mark on our nation and the world. His legacy will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, Sir.”
Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag and ex-Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh also shared a post after the demise of the legendary business leader.
In 2008, the Indian government honored Ratan Tata with the Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award. He also received many other awards, honors, and honorary degrees from various Indian and global universities.
According to a family statement, Ratan Tata is survived by his family members, including his brothers and sisters: Simone Tata, Jimmy Tata, Noel Tata, Aloo Tata, Shireen Jejeebhoy, Deanne Jejeebhoy, Leah Tata, Maya Tata, Neville Tata, Manasi Tata, Jamset Tata, Tiana Tata, and others.
