On October 10, local time, India held a state funeral for Ratan · Tata, a highly respected business leader.
Ratan · Tata died in a hospital in Mumbai on the evening of the 9th at the age of 86, although the cause of death has not been announced, but it is widely believed to be related to his age.
Unmarried and childless, Ratan is known for his business acumen and philanthropic spirit, having served as chairman for more than 20 years, leading a number of companies under the Tata Group. From 2023 to 2024, the group's revenue reached $165 billion.
In the wake of his death, there was a reported influx of mourning from around the world, "demonstrating his popularity across borders and generations." ”
Rattan's funeral was held at the Warri Crematorium in Mumbai.
According to photos published by India media, Ratan's coffin, covered with the India flag, was carried by eight men and placed in a glass box, after which he was cremated in the highest state etiquette.
The funeral was attended by a number of senior officials, including India Home Minister Amit · Shah, and Shah laid wreaths on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra · Modiji. Modi expressed "extreme sorrow" after hearing the news of Ratan's death, but he was unable to attend the funeral in person because he needed to fly to Vientiane, Laos, for the ASEAN summit.
According to reports, many people spontaneously went to the crematorium that day to see off Ratan for the last time, which is enough to show the influence and respect of the industrial giant in the country. Microsoft founder Bill · Gates took to social media to mourn Ratan, "His dedication to improving lives has left an indelible mark on India and the world." ”
At Ratan's funeral, in addition to some high-ranking government officials, there were also many India entrepreneurs, Mukesh Ambani, who is the richest man in India and the richest man in Asia· is one of them.
Before leaving for the crematorium, Ambani also issued a long message to mourn his predecessor, saying that his death was a great loss, "not only for the Tata Group, but for the whole of India." "On a personal level, I am deeply saddened by the passing of Ratan · Tata because I have lost a dear friend. I have had countless exchanges with him, which have inspired and inspired me, and have made me admire his noble character and the excellent human values he upholds. ”
Ambani came to the crematorium accompanied by his wife Nita, son and daughter-in-law, and was also watched by onlookers, after all, after one lavish celebration after another related to the wedding, their family is not inferior to Bollywood actors.
Although Ambani is superior to Ratan · Tata in terms of wealth, he is far inferior in respect, and India are more appreciative of Rattan's down-to-earth but quiet style, even when doing charity.
Compared to the unmarried and childless Ratan, Ambani seems to be unable to get rid of those worldly things, but this is really understandable.
Regardless, Ambani is also desirable in that he always shows enough consideration and love for his wife, and he will subconsciously protect Nita as she passes through the crowd, and he will hold her hand tightly as she walks down the steps. The sweetness and tacit understanding between the old husband and wife are vividly presented.
The impression of Nita has always been gorgeous and graceful, just like a walking jewelry box, very dazzling. However, this time, the 59-year-old Nita chose to appear only with light makeup because of the occasion, and she wore very little jewelry, it seems that there is only a pair of pearl earrings, plus a blue-gray saree, this rich woman is really rare and elegant.
