Jamshedpur mourns Ratan Tata, who brought global recognition to backwater

The city of Jamshedpur, popularly known as 'Tatanagar', is mourning. And so is Jharkhand where a day's mourning was declared on Thursday in a mark of respect for industrialist Ratan Tata. Named after Tata Group's founding father Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, it was the timeless vision of Ratan Tata that propelled Jamshedpur's growth and put it on the global map. His contributions are considered significant towards shaping Jharkhand, a backward region that became a state in 2000. He first visited Jamshedpur in 1963 to look into how Tata Steel, now a global conglomerate, works. He then visited the city in 1965 to hone his pilot skills. As soon as the news of his demise spread, a pall of gloom descended on the city.

Ratan Tata, who became the chairman of Tata Steel in 1993, visited the city ...

Ratan Tata was visionary leader, cherished partner: Singapore Airlines CEO

Ratan Tata was a visionary global business leader as well as a cherished partner, Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong said on Thursday and emphasised that his legacy inspires us as Tata Sons and the airline continue their collaboration on the Vistara-Air India merger. Vistara is a joint venture between the Tatas and Singapore Airlines. Back in 1994, the Tata Group and Singapore Airlines (SIA) made efforts to set up a joint venture airline in India. Six years later, they again tried to enter the country's aviation market, this time by teaming up to acquire stakes in Air India. However, the two attempts did not take off. Finally, they realised their dream as Vistara took to the Indian skies in January 2015. And in November 2022, Tata Group announced the merger of Vistara with Air India. While expressing the deepest condolences on behalf of the Singapore Airlines Board and Management, Goh Choon Phong said Tata was a visionary global business leader, as well as a cherished partner a
