The Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, Ratan Tata passed away on October 9 2024 at the Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai. He was 86.

Tata was admitted to hospital after complaints of low blood pressure on October 7. This led to a flurry of messages on social media, which the Titan himself thwarted through a tweet the same day, saying he was fine and in hospital for age related check up.

A media statement was issued by the office of N Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, as an obituary to the great leader. Calling him a truly uncommon leader, it said that his contributions were immeasurable and shaped the Tata Group as well as the fabric of the Nation.
