Ratan Tata

Ratan Tata led one of India's largest business houses for two decades and became better known for how he did it than for the scale of it. Neha Chander's biography follows that career from early years and training through to the chairmanship of the Tata Group, the international acquisitions that changed its profile, and the philanthropic structure standing behind the company. Written in accessible prose rather than corporate-history register, the book keeps its attention on decisions, values and the reasoning underneath them. It serves as an introduction for readers coming to the subject cold, and as a short study of a management style built on restraint. Hachette publishes this edition. Practical details: • A career traced from early training to group chairmanship • Attention to the reasoning behind major business decisions • Coverage of the philanthropic structure behind the group • Prose pitched for general readers rather than specialists Students, early-career professionals and general readers interested in Indian business history will find Neha Chander's biography a clear starting point, and the Hachette edition is available from Boipoka.
