Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, passed away on Wednesday, October 9, due to age-related health issues. Following the announcement of his death, tributes flooded in from around the globe. Among the heartfelt remembrances was a special illustration shared by Amul on Instagram, a brand recognized for its poignant topical tributes. The dairy brand honored Tata with a touching post that reflected the deep admiration for the industrialist.
The black-and-white illustration depicted Ratan Tata sitting on a chair, holding a piece of paper, alongside a younger version of himself riding a bicycle. The artwork features the text, “Poore vatan ka Ratan. Ratan Tata (1937-2024),” with the caption reading, “Amul Topical: Tribute to the business tycoon with a heart of gold.”

Tata was a visionary leader who guided the Tata Group during two significant periods—from 1991 to 2012, and briefly from 2016 to 2017. Even after stepping down from his official roles, he continued to be involved with the company’s charitable trusts.
