Tata Quotes

• I think the Tata Group's greatest contribution to the growth of the Indian economy and Indian industry probably happened in the pre-independence era. The Group's investments in industries such as steel, textiles, power and hotels were certainly driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, but they were driven even more, I think, by a desire to make India self-sufficient and independent of its colonial masters then.

• I followed someone who had very large shoes. He had very large shoes. Mr. J. R. D. Tata. He was a legend in the Indian business community. He had been at the helm of the Tata organization for 50 years. You were almost starting to think he was going to be there forever.

• Los primeros Rockefeller hicieron su riqueza al estar en ciertos negocios y siguieron siendo personalmente muy ricos. Los Tata eran diferentes en el sentido de que las generaciones futuras no eran tan ricas. Participaron en el negocio, pero la mayor parte del patrimonio familiar se puso en fideicomiso y la mayor parte de la familia no disfrutó, de hecho, de una enorme riqueza.

• You may know that in India now the Tata car is becoming all the rage; you can buy it for one lakh - $2000 dollars - it's very, very cheap. So India seems to be going the route that China went a few years ago and that developing countries all over the world seem to want to follow, namely, to rely on these personal vehicles, which is just an irrational way of organizing transport.

• Let us look at international institutions and trusts. Trusts have a certain roles and unless you define what their roles are, what is it that they control? Are they controlling the day-to-day operations? If you do that, then what is Tata Sons for? What are the operative companies for? Effectively, you need to have clarity on the roles of different players inside a structure. That is the governance framework.

• The wealth gathered by Jamsetji Tata and his sons in half a century of industrial pioneering formed but a minute fraction of the amount by which they enriched the nation. The whole of that wealth is held in trust for the people and used exclusively for their benefit. The cycle is thus complete; what came from the people has gone back to the people many times over.

• No sé cómo me juzgará la historia, pero permítanme decir que he dedicado mucho tiempo y energía a intentar transformar a los Tata de una empresa patriarcal a una empresa institucional. Por lo tanto, sería un fracaso por mi parte si se percibiera que Ratan Tata personifica el éxito del Grupo. Lo que he hecho es establecer mecanismos de crecimiento, restar importancia a los individuos y ensalzar al equipo que ha hecho de las empresas lo que son. Yo no soy de los que se obsesionan con el "yo". Si la historia me recuerda, espero que sea por esta transformación.

• Happy". I had not heard that word since Mr. Milgrom spoke it at the last Hanukkah. I asked him the question that had been on my mind since then. "Tata, what is happy?" He looked at me and at the ceiling and back to me. "Did you ever taste an orange?" he said.
