The fab four

December 28, 2007
A rare picture from the Tata archives captures the four original partners of the Tata Group.

In the picture are J N Tata (sitting right to left), the founder of the Tata Group; Sir Dorabji Tata, (standing right to left); the elder son of J N Tata, Sir Ratan Tata, his younger brother and R D Tata, father of JRD Tata.

The Tata empire today is one that has touched almost every aspect of Indian life.

It is the nation's largest industrial conglomerate and runs about 80 companies in seven main sectors: chemicals, communications and IT, consumer products, energy, engineering, materials, and services. Two of its largest operations are steel making, through Tata Steel (Tisco), and vehicle manufacturing, through Tata Motors.

Credit to all of that goes to the four in the picture who had the courage to dream and make it come true.
