**New Delhi:** Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid a heartfelt tribute to late industrialist and philanthropist Ratan Tata, describing him as an embodiment of Indian enterprise and a true inspiration. In a tribute published on his official website, PM Modi highlighted Tata’s significant contributions to Indian industry, philanthropy, and society.
“Shri Ratan Tata was the epitome of the finest traditions of Indian enterprise, with a deep commitment to integrity, excellence, and service,” wrote PM Modi, emphasizing Tata’s dedication to building a better future for all.
The Prime Minister acknowledged Tata’s remarkable leadership in leading the Tata Group to global heights, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to integrity, honesty, and credibility. He also highlighted Tata’s mentorship of India’s growing startup ecosystem, noting his significant investments in promising ventures and his belief in the potential of young entrepreneurs to shape India’s future.
PM Modi further lauded Tata’s global vision, praising his championing of Indian businesses to achieve global excellence and his unwavering belief in India’s capability to set world-class standards.
Beyond his business achievements, PM Modi acknowledged Tata’s deep commitment to social causes. He recalled Tata’s swift reopening of the iconic Taj Hotel in Mumbai after the 26/11 terror attacks, showcasing his patriotism and resolve in times of crisis.
The Prime Minister also reflected on his personal relationship with Tata, remembering their close interactions and collaborations, particularly during his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat. He fondly recalled Tata’s active involvement in the Swachh Bharat mission and his commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure.
“Today, as we remember him, we are reminded of the society he envisioned—a place where business is a force for good, where individual potential is recognized, and where progress is measured by the well-being and happiness of all,” concluded PM Modi.
Tata, the chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, passed away on October 10 at the age of 86. His absence has been deeply felt, not just in India but around the world. His legacy, however, will continue to inspire future generations to embrace the values of integrity, excellence, service, and a commitment to building a better future.
