Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata (J.R.D. Tata) made Tata Group one of the most prestigious and successful industrial groups in India.

His family was wealthy and had the means to fulfil the curiosities of his young mind. He began his career as an unpaid apprentice in the Indian company Tata and Sons. Within few years he rose to the position of the company’s Chairman.

He was interested in flying planes since a young age. He became the first person to obtain the first ever issued pilot license in India. He took his passion for flying to another level by establishing India’s first commercial airline, Tata Airlines which later became Air India. Under his leadership and direction, the Tata Group expanded into newer horizons and became one of India’s most trusted brands. This great personality passed away on 29th November 1993.

India Post issued a definitive stamp in 2009 of 15 INR which depicts the smiling face of JRD Tata.

We should take inspiration from him. So keep working hard and never give up!
