Ratan Tata was admitted to Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on Monday after a sudden drop in blood pressure. He was kept on a ventilator in the hospital’s ICU, but his health continued to deteriorate. A statement from Tata Sons Chairman N. Chandrasekaran, issued just before midnight, confirmed the passing of the iconic leader. “It is with a profound sense of loss that we bid farewell to Ratan Naval Tata, a truly uncommon leader, whose immeasurable contributions have shaped not only the Tata Group but also the very fabric of our nation,” Chandrasekaran said.

Ratan Tata’s tenure as chairman of Tata Sons transformed the group into a global conglomerate, all while adhering to principles of integrity, excellence, and innovation. Chandrasekaran, who was mentored by Tata, expressed deep sorrow, remarking, “For the Tata Group, Tata was more than a chairperson. To me, he was a mentor, guide, and friend. He inspired by example, with an unwavering commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his condolences, saying, “Extremely pained by his passing away. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and admirers in this sad hour. Om Shanti.” Other notable figures also paid tribute, including Harsh Goenka, who tweeted, “The clock has stopped ticking. The Titan passes away. #RatanTata was a beacon of integrity, ethical leadership, and philanthropy.”

Known for his visionary leadership and compassionate soul, Ratan Tata provided stability and growth to one of India’s oldest and most respected business houses. His legacy includes not only the vast expansion of the Tata Group’s global footprint but also his commitment to philanthropy and nation-building.
