As India mourns the passing of one of its most iconic figures, Ratan Tata, at the age of 86, actor Saanand Verma, who has been part of movies like Chhichhore and Babli Bouncer, among others, expressed deep admiration for the industrialist’s life and contributions. In his heartfelt tribute, Verma highlighted the profound influence Tata had on him personally and explained why the business magnate continues to inspire millions across the country.
“Mr. Ratan Tata’s legacy is not just about business success—it’s about humanity, humility, and his unwavering commitment to the betterment of society,” said Saanand. “I have learned so much from his life, especially his ability to stay grounded despite towering achievements. He led one of India’s largest conglomerates, yet his focus was always on how to uplift the country.”
Saanand also emphasized how Tata’s work in corporate philanthropy, through the Tata Trusts, set a benchmark for responsible leadership. “He wasn’t just about profit; he believed that businesses had a duty to give back to society. His initiatives in healthcare, education, and rural development have impacted millions of lives, making him a true national hero.”
Ratan Tata’s leadership style, rooted in ethics and social responsibility, resonated deeply with Saanand. “What stands out to me is his humility and integrity. He demonstrated that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of values. His belief in balancing profit with societal impact is something every business leader should aspire to.
The actor also noted that Tata’s influence goes far beyond the corporate world. “Mr. Tata’s vision and actions have left a mark on the very fabric of Indian society. He inspired an entire generation to think beyond themselves, to consider the welfare of others, and to lead with compassion. His legacy will live on for generations.”
