Great industrialist, human being

He was a great industrialist and great human being. His passing away is a big loss to the Indian industry. Tata means trust and Ratan Tata exemplified this value. He was very innovative and a pioneer who transformed the industrial landscape of India. He introduced Nano for the category who never owned a car. His Indica car experiment was a great step. MSMEs supported his initiatives in automobile industry and also got work from Tata Group.
