One such important episode that PM Modi mentioned in his tribute was when Tata led India at its darkest hour-long after the fateful 26/11 terrorist attacks in Mumbai. In the aftermath of the tragedy, it was Tata’s response that showed a shining moment for the nation. The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel was an upper-class hotel owned by Tata Group. Bombs were dropped there, but whatever happened, in two days, Ratan Tata opened the buildings, and that says much about the defiance against terrorism.

For crores of Indians, the patriotism of Shri Ratan Tata shone brightest in times of crisis. His swiftness to reopen the iconic Taj Hotel in Mumbai following the 26/11 terror attacks was a rallying call to the nation—India stands united, refusing to yield to terrorism,” he further added in his tribute. This resilience not just marked India’s power for entrepreneurship but also the nation’s indomitable spirit in adversity.

PM Modi has said that the best qualities of Indian business leadership came in the person of Ratan Tata: integrity, excellence, and service. This was not only because of his business acumen but also because of humility and kindness. During his entire career, his achievements had taken the Tata Group to unprecedented heights, yet he was known to remain constantly grounded by it. Prime Minister Modi said Ratan Tata was a role model for the young generation and showed one could pursue their dreams compassionately and humbly.

For the young, Shri Ratan Tata was an icon reminding dreams are worth pursuing and that success coexist with compassion as well as humility,” wrote PM Modi. Ratan Tata’s legacy in shaping India’s business landscape was unparalleled, though he never refused to wear his success lightly either.

According to the Prime Minister, among his prime contributions, one was the support he gave to India’s emerging startup ecosystem. It was foresight and an understanding of the aspirations of youth entrepreneurs that kindled innovation and entrepreneurship in India. He favored the next generation of dreamers being empowered so they could push the frontiers and take risks as a means of prospering.

He empowered a generation of dreamers to take bold risks and push boundaries by supporting them. This has gone a long way in creating an innovation and entrepreneurship culture, observed Shankar, who was confident that this would continue to shape India positively in the decades ahead.

Apart from business, Ratan Tata’s commitment to nation-building was very personal. PM Modi said he has worked very closely with Tata on a number of projects in Gujarat in which the insights and contributions of the industrialist were invaluable. It could be his vocal support for Swachh Bharat Mission, understanding the requirement of hygiene, improvement of healthcare and fight against cancer. The very reason that drew people to Ratan Tata was that he’d led initiatives always towards the welfare of Indian people.

As he would say it, Ratan Tata needed a just society that provided care to its weaker and needier. Throughout his life, his philanthropic journey had always been prompted by a necessity for a human initiative. His death is a legacy of success in business and deep-rooted commitment towards humanitarian causes and betterment of society.

In short, the tribute by PM Modi stands for the deep respect and adoration the nation as a whole holds for Ratan Tata. He’s a visionary leader whose patriotism, compassion, and commitment to India will inspire generations forever.
