In their obituary, Poornima Vardhan and Taponeel Mukherjee also reflected on Ratan Tata’s profound impact on innovation and courage in leadership. They remarked, “For us, Ratan Tata epitomises the spirit of innovation and courage. His remarkable journey, from building TCS in the 1970s to launching the game-changing NANO, inspires us to think boldly and challenge the status quo. Tata’s willingness to take risks and defy convention, as seen in his strategic acquisitions like Jaguar, is a powerful reminder that true leadership requires vision, resilience, and being ahead of the curve.”
This addition underscored their admiration for his bold decisions and pioneering initiatives, which not only transformed the Tata Group but also shaped India’s global presence. Vardhan and Mukherjee emphasized how Ratan Tata’s ability to stay ahead of trends and challenge norms continues to inspire leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators around the world.
