How Ratan Tata built the TATA empire- Vir Sanghvi remembers India’s most respected business tycoon

[@SubashCV]

He had become a symbol of what Indian business should be about - honesty, ethics, values

[@rushi9154]

It felt like a personal loss. Brought tears in eyes. Indians will be eternally grateful for your contribution.

[@swatibhansali3148]

Yes, if only there were more Ratan Tatas, we could be a great nation - despite our politicians

[@deepakv21]

I had lived in Jamshedpur, a city built by Tatas. You can only wonder and respect what Tatas have created. I felt sad since morning after hearing the news of his demise, this loss is personal… Om Shanti 🎉

[@SmartWizzard]

Did I gain something from Tata `No` but indirectly he helped everyone in many ways by helping Indias growth and he is not like any other businessmen who run after money and billboards. He touched the lives of many, everyone will mourn for him, or else he is not a true Indian at all.

Hartfell sorrows at passing away of one of the great sons of India from Sri Lanka.

[@melwynphilips856]

Sir Ratan Tata was not just another business leader. He was head and shoulders above the rest because he came accross as a person of integrity, a man who was the flag bearer of a value system that became synonymous with the Tata name. He was seen as not just another business honcho, but as a nation builder. And that is why his loss seems so personal to so many of his fellow countrymen.

[@nawangdhondup3262]

Was waiting for your take on the great man and you didn’t disappoint! A beautiful obituary on our very own Ratan Tata.Thank you Vir.🙏

[@kanishkasingh2658]

Ratan Tata was a Parsi - no other community has done so much for India. As they gradually trend towards extinction, we should ask ourselves, what could we as Indians have done differently to protect these precious members of society?

[@nvspraneeth901]

They are smart enough, more informed and brilliant than us to think about themselves

[@kanishkasingh2658]

@@nvspraneeth901 Your attitude is exactly why we don't deserve them!

[@viswanathmj3507]

Jab tak surajchand rahe, Ratan tata naam amar rahega

[@mbabu11]

He was undoubtably a true son of India. he was a symbol of the great creation of God. May his soul rest in peace, and may God bless him with a great new life.

[@anjalidastur7132]

Thank you Sir, this was so lovely. His passing feels like personal loss....Wish there were more Ratan Tatas...

[@ms-np2lq]

A wonderful wonderful human being

[@ms-np2lq]

The last two lines of the podcast are so true

[@NilaZaman-q4l]

Ratan tata end of an era! A great soul and a philanthropist the world will mourn for a long time. This loss is never to forget and recover

[@ragwindersingh1354]

Great human being.

[@prateekkr2140]

It's an irony that we are taking an interest in learning about his life after his death. This includes me. I hope his life inspires more young people like me to be businessmen of character along with wealth.

[@AmitAnandchauhan]

Beautiful Tribute to a true son of India

[@Ddemellodidi]

So well rendered. …

[@prakashraghunathan2685]

Ratan Tata is great Gem for Tata group

[@AbhishekSen]

Ratan Tata did not go to Hawaii he went to LA. Naval Tata wasn't privileged either, he grew up at an orphanage before being adopted.

[@Emperor1118]

Vir, excellent commentary on late Ratan Tata.. Your words introduced this stalwart in different light!! Thank you.. A personal loss is deeply felt! 😞🙏

[@jai4933]

He was a genuinely good human being. Goodness has left us.

[@AshishGupta-ld5bp]

This is Good Mr. Sanghvi

[@savithakl7577]

Great gem Ratan, RIP

[@shashikalanarayan585]

True, we wish there were more ratan tatas ❤

[@SRL1996]

It felt like a personal loss to me.

[@ajaggl]

actually he transformed the name TATA as a part of each individual life by his kindness to poor and the commitment to our nation's prosperity... it has been personally influenced when I am choosing a car in my life.... Sir you are our soul mate ❤❤❤🎉🎉

[@radioblande]

I don't think any member of the general public would mourn the passing of an Ambani or an Adani... when their time comes.

[@ToThePointbyTRB]

Ratan Tatasb. was a man without parallel. Epitome of humility, humbleness and simplicity. Set new never heard of bench mark of ethical standards of doing business by setting the acid test in the eyes and minds of the counter parties. I Had opportunity to meet and interact with the rooted to ground inspiring personality with an unexplainable halo and towering yet kind and empathic presense in many dealer meets which he would religiously attend to host a dinner for dealers and made it a point to interact with all, staying with the fraternity all the evening and addressing it in his typical laid back inimitable style, sharing his experiences and wisdom and taking a question answer session with elan and sometimes with a touch of humour and a naughty twinkle in his eyes when a dealer brother would pose an awkward question. His presence of mind and his repartee was remarkable and so was the band width of his knowledge and his ability to explain complex subjects in simple easy to understand ways. I can never forget a lunch hosted by him at Lake House Pune when he intermingled informally with every one during buffet like a host to his immidiate family members. I have always missed in dealer meets his towering yet benign presence and that half smile always adorning his face after his retirement from active business. Passanger cars were his passion and it's dealers near to his heart, so much so that the final vetting and approval of first set of dealers was done in his office. If I look back at my twenty five years with TML, the most invaluable earning has been the chance to see, feel the noble souls hand shake and his soothing presence. He was a hermit in a businessman's garb. Attached yet detached. Firm and fair. Un compromising on core principals yet flexible. Prepared to take a challenge and see it through. A visionary and nationalist and philanthropist without compare. Heart feel heavy and sad on the passing away of the noble soul which will remain immortally etched in the minds of all who knew him. Words are not enough to pay homage to him. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@gauravmishra5859]

Wonderful content veer sir

[@finelychopped]

Thank you so much for sharing this insightful story. I’d just add that he was not just committed to human beings, but animals too. I don’t know whether it’s because of algorithms but a lot of the tributes I see on social media (non business journalists) mention this. I do hope this talk is transcribed and printed too.

[@lydiangonamai8036]

Salute you sir Ratan Tata

[@djdarbary]

Tata group's superpower stemmed from the values they espoused: honesty, integrity, benevolence, and inclusivity. Their brand of capitalism is motivated by something greater than profit; they see commerce and idustry as tools of social uplift and development. Mr. Tata nurtured those precepts in a manner appropriate to our times. Thanx for everything, Ratansha, rest in peace.🙏🏽🙏🏽🌟🍀

[@aatmaja3]

Rest in peace Legend 👑

[@debajitmita2835]

RATAN TATA AMAR RAHE. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@VinothGopalakrishnan]

Thanks for sharing what you experienced. It's a delight!

[@manishd7177]

A beautiful and probably the best obituary of Shri Ratan Tata!!! Thank you Mr. Sanghvi!!

[@shirishpanwalkar]

Insightful episode 👍Thank you sir 🙏

[@kalidindijyothi5846]

Vir Sanghvi ji...can you please voice out to create an award like TATA Ratan like Bharat Ratna to give a pinch to this greatest soul...

[@ogathingo8885]

Do the young Indians know that the Tata family also injected money to the decolonization of India??? What a family and Sr. Ratan Tata has kept his family’s legacy. What a wonderful soul and hope he will decided to reborn on this earth to lead the future into a better place…

[@soumyajain5462]

Remarkable insight sir v sanghvi

[@diva7892]

What an admission : lonely, but diffident to do anything about it❤

[@amoddas3963]

Great person 👏

Thanks for Uploading.

[@rahulsidshah]

Lovely video. Well said

[@vidurchandra4536]

While it’s saddening to lose Ratan Tata. I humbly request the Print to distance themselves from high opinionated (maybe corrupt) journalists like Vir. I love the Print for being an independent media org, please don’t pollute it. Big fan!

[@vidurchandra4536]

Irony is that my comment also opinionated 😂

[@ravishankar4978]

The print is highly opinionated and this man vir totally intellectually corrupt

[@maneeshahooja]

AUM SHANTI.

[@rejijai9120]

very insightful. thanks

Came as an underdog left as The G.O.A.T.

[@LionelMandle]

Mr.Vir Singhvi ...we must remember that during J.R.D's tenure the Tata group was only 5-9 enterprises & $5.09 billion. JRD wanted India to be a happy nation.As correctly stated Russi mody was a Maverick. J.J.Irani was too serious & lacked employee empathy. During JRD Tata...Tata sons was in the backseat...while Russi etc were running personal realms and fiefdoms.Ratan scaled all odds vs. this"Cartel"...rest is history...Tata sons is a shining emblem of humanity....RIP Ratan.🎉

[@Tulasidharv]

If one respects him, one wouldn't speak about him intoxicated.

[@saswatkumarpati6109]

😂😂😂

[@raviteja7378]

It's grief, my friend. I can only imagine how one would feel after knowing him for so many years.

[@charlieGilchrist-t1k]

❤❤❤❤

[@aryanindo5634]

Now you will find 20 exclusive interview given to Vir 'Radia Tape' Sanghvi

[@pankajmadhursharma8135]

JRD was not an outsider. his father RD Tata was 1 of the 2 founder of Tata Sons. And his father had left all to him. RD Tata owned 25% of holding co Tata Sons.

[@sundershetty2759]

Ratan Tata came back to India because of his parents request. It is because of his love for his grandmother. Please watch his interview with simi garewal of 1997. This is how deeply biased Vir Sanghvi understood Ratan

[@Myanmartiger921]

finally something i can agree with from sangvi

[@rajaramakutty9088]

Any story Vir tells, take it with a pinch of salt 😂😂

[@muzaffaralisheikhji]

The only other organisation that can be considered similar to TATA would be ROBERT BOSCH

[@monapereira2900]

why focus on Simi Garewal when u r talking about his foreign girl friend. its not fair to him. its simply a publicity stunt

[@darshanpatil7777]

Why is the host drunk? Highly unprofessional.

[@nvspraneeth901]

Jrd himself was not direct descendant of jn tata

[@anjankumarsarkar6243]

In your attempt to glorify the legacy of Ratan Tata, you have actually discredited J.N. and J.R.D.
