Tata Group – A Century and a Half of
Purpose-Driven Excellence

Established in 1868 by the visionary industrialist Jamsetji Tata, the Tata Group is one of India’s oldest and most respected business conglomerates. Over the course of 150 years, Tata has grown from a humble trading firm into a global enterprise that spans over 100 countries and touches the lives of millions of people every single day.

With more than 100 operating companies across sectors such as automobiles, steel, IT, telecommunications, power, hospitality, aerospace, and consumer goods, the Tata Group has played a pioneering role in shaping modern India. Whether it’s introducing India’s first steel plant, the first luxury hotel, or the first indigenous car, Tata has consistently led with courage, innovation, and a deep sense of social responsibility.

At the heart of Tata lies a commitment to ethics, excellence, and nation-building. Unlike most business groups, the majority of Tata Sons’ ownership lies with philanthropic trusts such as the Tata Trusts, which reinvest a large portion of the group's profits into community development, education, healthcare, rural upliftment, and scientific research.
