Ratan Naval Tata, a celebrated industrialist, philanthropist, and former chairman of Tata Sons, stands as one of the most impactful leaders in modern business. Born in Bombay in 1937 and raised by his grandmother, Tata’s early education journey began at Campion School, continued at Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai, and later Bishop Cotton School in Shimla. He eventually graduated from Riverdale Country School in New York City in 1955.

His remarkable career journey with Tata began in 1961 on the shop floor of Tata Steel. Through dedication and innovation, he steadily rose in the ranks and took on a managerial role in the 1970s. In 1991, he succeeded J.R.D. Tata as chairman of Tata Sons. This pivotal moment marked a new era for Tata Group, shifting from an India-centric entity to a global powerhouse under his leadership.
