Mumbai: Industry giant Ratan Tata will be cremated with full state honours following his death on Wednesday at the age of 86 in a Mumbai hospital. In addition, Eknath Shinde, the chief minister of Maharashtra, declared a day of mourning for the renowned philanthropist and industrialist on Thursday.
As a sign of respect, all Maharashtra government offices will fly the national flag at half mast. Numerous Thursday-related events have been canceled.
Today from 10 am to 4 pm, Ratan Tata’s body will be on display at the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) in Mumbai’s Nariman Point, where visitors can pay their final respects. Later in the day, the cremation will happen in the Worli neighborhood. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi departed for Laos to attend the ASEAN-India and East Asia summits, Home Minister Amit Shah will attend the funeral.
Mr. Tata was born in Mumbai on December 28, 1937, into one of the most prominent business families in India. He was the great-grandson of Jamsetji Tata, the man who founded the Tata Group, a conglomerate that started out as a small trade concern in 1868 and eventually expanded into an empire that included steel, salt, cars, software, and even airplanes.
Mr. Tata’s early experiences with both luxury and adversity influenced him. When he was a little boy, his parents divorced, and he was reared by his grandmother, Lady Navajbai Tata. Before going to the US for further study, he attended the esteemed Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai. After attending Cornell University, Mr. Tata graduated in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture.
Later, he enrolled in Harvard Business School’s Advanced Management Program, but after returning to India in the early 1960s to work in the family business, his desire to pursue a career as an architect was shelved.
He was employed at Tata Steel’s Jamshedpur factory on the shop floor. His future leadership style would be largely shaped by this experiential learning methodology.
