Tata’s 133-year legacy of profits and giving
Today, the Tata Group is valued at approximately $365 billion, with 30 publicly listed companies and over 700,000 employees operating in more than 100 countries including Kenya.
Ten years after the Government of India Act of 1858 made India a direct colony of the British Empire, a young man, Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, started a trading company. With the princely capital of 21,000 rupees.
Jamsetji set up a number of businesses, including a textile mill in Nagpur. He was incredibly successful as a businessman, but he was driven by a deep personal need to make an impact in the communities where his businesses operated.
