The Tata Titans
Jamsetji Tata | Sir Dorab Tata | Sir Ratan Tata | JRD Tata | Naval
Tata
There is a difference between making money for oneself and creating
wealth for others. This is the story of a business house that has created wealth for a
nation. It is a story of struggle, anxiety, adventure and achievement. This is the story of
our pioneers.
Jamsetji Tata: The Founder of the Tata group began with a textile mill in central India
in the 1870s. His powerful vision inspired the steel and power industries in India, set
the foundation for technical educaton, and helped the country leapfrog from
backwardness to the ranks of industrialised nations.

Sir Dorab Tata: Through his endeavours in setting up Tata Steel and Tata
Power, this elder son of Jamsetji Tata was instrumental in transforming
his father's grand vision into reality. It was also under his leadership that
the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, the premier charitable endowment of the Tatas,
was created, propelling the Tata tradition of philanthropy.

Sir Ratan Tata: Jamsetji Tata's younger son had a personality that reflected his
sensitivity to the struggles of ordinary people and his desire to utilise his considerable
wealth to enhance the quality of public life. A philanthropist all his life, he created a
trust fund for "the advancement of learning and for the relief of human suffering and
other works of public utility." The Sir Ratan Tata Trust is today the second largest of
the Tata trusts.
