‘India has lost a giant,’ says Gautam Adani on Ratan Tata’s passing

Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, expressed his profound sorrow over the passing of Ratan Tata, the Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, who died at Breach Candy Hospital due to age-related health issues.

“India has lost a giant, a visionary who redefined the path of modern India. Ratan Tata was more than just a business leader—he embodied the spirit of our nation through his integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to the greater good. Legends like him never fade away. Om Shanti,” Adani wrote on X.

Tata was admitted to the hospital on Monday, leading to widespread speculation about his health among corporate, political, and public circles. He later issued a statement indicating he was undergoing routine medical examinations for age-related concerns. Reports emerged that he had been placed on life support, although officials from the Tata Group did not confirm or deny this.

N Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, expressed a profound sense of loss, stating, “We bid farewell to Mr. Ratan Naval Tata, a truly exceptional leader whose immeasurable contributions have shaped both the Tata Group and the very fabric of our nation. For the Tata Group, Mr. Tata was not just a chairperson; to me, he was a mentor, guide, and friend. He inspired by example, leading with a steadfast commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation. Under his stewardship, the Tata Group expanded its global footprint while remaining true to its moral compass.”
