New Delhi: Business tycoon Ratan Tata is all well at 86. Tata has allayed fears of thousands of concerned Indians after news of his hospitalisation broke the internet early on Monday. Tata took to X to say his health condition was fine and that there was no real need to worry. He said he will be undergoing some routine check ups while at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital.
He is a man that has worn several hats – that of an industrialist, humanist, philanthropist, and national icon. And he has done justice to every role. Tata is the great-grandson of Jamsetji Tata, who founded a business that is now among the top corporations globally. The interests are as wide and spread out as any other business conglomerate. The Tatas are into automotive, aerospace and defence, information technology, steel, real estate, as well as aviation and Ecommerce.
Although Ratan Tata has been away from the media glare for a considerable amount of time, he has maintained very high spirits. The news of his blood pressure drop hence took the media world by a storm.
