Under the visionary leadership of Ratan Tata, the Tata Group has transformed into one of the world’s most influential conglomerates, excelling across multiple sectors. As of March 31, 2024, the group’s total market capitalization stands at Rs 15.388 trillion, with a combined net worth surpassing Rs 365 billion.
