Starbucks, Tetley, Jaguar Land Rover: Remembering Ratan Tata's global ambitions
MUMBAI — Ratan Tata, the philanthropist and former chairman of Tata Group who has died aged 86, played an instrumental role in globalizing and modernizing one of India’s oldest business houses.His ability to take bold, audacious business risks informed a high-profile acquisition strategy that kept the salt-to-steel conglomerate founded 155 years ago by his forefathers relevant after India liberalized its economy in the 1990s.At the turn of the millennium, Tata executed the biggest cross-border acquisition in Indian corporate history -- buying Tetley Tea, the world’s second largest producer of teabags.
