He not only sacrificed his life, like many others did before and after him, but he also had a vision of independent India.

This audiobook takes listeners from boardrooms to back rooms to reveal how a quintessential Indian brand from the house of the Tatas, not known till then for its success in the consumer goods market, reached such remarkable heights.

A remarkable life story of a remarkable woman

Publisher's Summary
Winner of the Gaja Capital Business Book Prize 2019
The 19th century was an exciting time of initiative and enterprise around the world. If John D. Rockefeller was creating unimagined wealth in the United States that he would put to the service of the nation, a Parsi family with humble roots was doing the same in India.
In 1822, a boy was born in a priestly household in Gujarat's Navsari village. Young Nusserwanji knew early on that his destiny lay beyond his village and decided to head for Bombay to start a business - the first in his family to do so. He had neither higher education nor knowledge of business matters, just a burning passion to carve a path of his own. What Nusserwanji started as a cotton trading venture, his son Jamsetji, born in the same year as Rockefeller, grew into a multifaceted business, turning around sick textile mills, setting up an iron and steel company, envisioning a cutting-edge institute of higher learning, building a world-class hotel, and earning himself the title of the 'Bhishma Pitamah of Indian Industry'.
Stewarded ably over the decades by Jamsetji's sons, Dorabji and Ratanji, the charismatic and larger-than-life JRD, and thereafter the more businesslike Ratan, the Tata group today is a $110 billion empire. The Tatas is their story. But it is more than just a history of the industrial house; it is an inspiring account of India in the making. It chronicles how each generation of the family invested not only in the expansion of its own business interests but also in nation building. Few know, for instance, that the first hydel power project in the world was conceived of and built by the Tatas. Nor that some radical labour concepts such as eight-hour work shifts were born in India, at the Tata mill in Nagpur. The Tata Cancer Research Centre, the Indian Institute of Science, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, and the national carrier Air India - the family has a long, rich and unrivalled legacy.
The Tatas is a tribute to a line of visionaries who have a special place in the hearts and minds of ordinary Indians. Written by seasoned journalist Girish Kuber, this is also the only book that tells the complete Tata story spanning almost 200 years.

Tale of building Industry and Institutes in India
Fantastic book on how the Tatas shaped India's industries and Institutions (IISc,TISS,TIFR...) over one and a half century. It also gives insight into State Interference in Business in the Nehruvian and Indira Era. Challenges of setting up TCS license raj was insightful. Life and journey of JN Tata, JRD and Ratan Tata and how their vision shaped India. They are the makers of modern industrial India.
While the book is well researched and easy flowing, it lacks critical inquiry into Tata's journey. Their pitfalls and political clout is undermined.

A Saga of Prestige
Very informative and interesting, the author has done a good quality research before writing this book. The spirit of nation building in all their ventures is well known to many Indians, but their struggles, their setbacks and the internal turbulences were brought out well here. Small titbits like the name Lakme having its origin in the name Goddess Lakshmi was spiced up the writings. The narration was a little robotic but that is okay. Overall enjoyed.

while Tatas have been a exemplary in their ethics and have always been a notch above the rest, there have been few controversies on the group. allegations on payment to militants in tea estates, radia episode etc.. it would be good to know all aspects of the group rather than heat only the good ones.

I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this book. I haven’t finished enjoying it. I have listened to the whole book but will listen at a few more times. There is so much to take in and so much on which I enjoy pondering. A truly enjoyable and impressive story.
We should not only learn about Hitler but should hear this story, repeatedly, too. A story to give hope.
