The country is grieving the loss of Ratan Tata, a respected industrialist and Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons. He died on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai, at the age of 86. Despite leading over 30 companies worldwide, Tata was known for his modest lifestyle.
Social media is buzzing with memories and stories about him. One heartwarming video from his 84th birthday, celebrated on December 28, 2021, has gone viral. In the clip, Ratan Tata enjoys a simple birthday gathering with Shantanu Naidu, his general manager. Instead of an extravagant cake, he has a plain cupcake, and Naidu sings him a birthday song as Tata blows out the candle.
