This superb biography, written with the co-operation of J.R.D. Tata, provides an exhaustive and unforgettable portrait of India's greatest and most respected industrialist. The book is divided into four parts and tells the J.R.D. story from his birth in France in 1904 to his death in Switzerland in 1993.
Part I deals with the early years, covering the period from J.R.D's birth to his accession to the chairmanship of Tatas, India's largest industrial conglomerate, at the age of thirty-four. Part II focuses on his forty-six years in Indian aviation, the lasting passion of his life, which led to the initiation of the Indian aviation industry and its development into one of India's success stories. Part III illuminates his half-century-long stint as the outstanding personality of Indian industry, and Part IV unearths hitherto unknown details about the private man and the public figure, including glimpses of his long friendships with such people as Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, and his association with celebrities in India and abroad.
This biography provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the life and achievements of J.R.D. Tata, one of India's most revered industrialists. Through its detailed and well-researched narrative, the book offers a unique insight into the personal and professional journey of this remarkable individual, whose contributions to the development of Indian industry and aviation are widely acknowledged and respected.
