I decided to read it because I adore Mr. Ratan Tata but this book is terribly written and I highly doubt that it's even written? It looks like a bunch of random articles, picked from Google, pasted together.
The author has messed up the tenses and didn't even bother to pay attention to the years that were mentioned.
There's no writing tbh. Just random figures and articles from the internet attached together.

Boring writing, full of printing errors, and most of all not a biography of Ratan Tata, just a glossary of facts about the Tatas.

Favorite QUOTES from the book .

# The fastest way to change yourself is to hang out with
people who are already the way you want to be .

#Some people dream of success, while other people get up
every morning and make it happen.

#Take the stones people to throw at you, and use them to
build a monument.

#None can destroy iron, but its rust can! Likewise, none can
destroy a person, but its mindset can!

#It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen

#If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to
walk far, walk together.

#If you’re interested in the living heart of what you do, focus
on building things rather than talking about them.

#If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do
more and become more, you are a leader.

#Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.

#Chase the vision, not the money, the money will end up
following you.

The book had been on my shelf for a long time, but I am glad I finally finished it this month. Though brief, the book holds the lifetime achievement of a true legend and visionary.
Ratan Tata not only carried on his family's legacy but also elevated its global presence, transforming the Tata Group into an international powerhouse across diverse sectors.
The book highlights the company's progress alongside the reforms shaping New India. The most interesting aspect I read is that the Tata Group spends 66% of its profits on philanthropy, and its business models are based on providing quality services to customers. It clearly conveys the company's commitment to ethical and social responsibility.
Overall, the books provide a concise yet insightful overview of the Tata family, a business legacy that has survived for over 150 years even in the face of setbacks.

Picked up the book because of my respect for Ratan Tata. But the book had been a disappointment. The initial chapters are dedicated to his ancestors, one each from the founder to the successive chairmen of the company. This is followed by one chapter on each of the group companies. By the time you finish this, 50% of the book is done. By now you would have got the drift. Reads like a textbook one is forced to study. The 2 star rating is just for researching the information.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Again I read the book because I am fond of Ratan ji. His charm and charisma did not make me leave the book. What a legend!!!!!!🙏🏼

But the book could have been written well. I think it wasn't proofread; as I can see many language errors. I wish it could have been written well as a good written book remains in the mind of a reader.

This nice and short book offers a readily digestible summary of the Tata family's impressive history, right from Jamsetji Tata to Ratan Tata. The writing style though could benefit from more refinement. Overall, it's a good choice for those seeking a quick introduction to the Tatas.

A brief book about the journey of Tata Empire. I am immensely impressed by the dedication of JRD TATA and the future generations. No Doubt about the author, verified certain facts and found 100% correct,

The book includes a concise overview of key figures in the Tata family tree. However, the book could have been more detailed when it came to Ratan Tata's life. It's also not well structured and repetitive at some places.

It is a very interesting book to deep dive into the life of an industrialist that I look up to as an ideal!

I feel like Ratan Tata's Legacy is not clearly shown in this, It feels like a compilation of essays of about the Tata Family.

Every chapter is like reading “About us” section in a website .

Please suggest a well researched book written on Ratan Tata and Tata family and businesses

Gives a decent history of the Tata family, but the book is desultory and too much repetition. And the English is very casual, doesn't seem right in what should have been a formal book.
