He founded what would later become the Tata Group of companies. Tata is regarded as the legendary "Father of Indian Industry".[1] He was so influential in the world of industry that Jawaharlal Nehru referred to Tata as a One-Man Planning Commission.[2]
"When you have to give the lead in action, in ideas – a lead which does not fit in with the very climate of opinion – that is true courage, physical or mental or spiritual, call it what you like, and it is this type of courage and vision that Jamsetji Tata showed. It is right that we should honour his memory and remember him as one of the big founders of modern India." —Jawaharlal Nehru[3]
Tata, who in his early life was a merchant, went on to change the business world of India through his many ventures within the cotton and pig iron industry, and is known as one of the most important builders of the modern Indian economy. Out of his many achievements, Tata is notable for the Tata Iron and Steel Works company in Jamshedpur.[4] In addition to the Tata Iron and Steel Works, he went on to establish businesses in many other areas that stood as a foundation to modern Indian business.
