  • Summary

  • They said Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata turned mud into gold or was it skillful management, clear thinking and honesty that did the trick? He had an uncanny knack for recognizing a good business opportunity and a selfless will to improve the lot of his countrymen. Thus a little known Zoroastrian family became the foremost business house in India's industrial history. The chronicle of the life of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata is fascinating by reason of its impersonal approach, its old-world flavour and accent. Jamsetji Tata laid the foundations and largely consolidated the position of Indian industry and enterprise. In Indian industry the terms 'integrity' and 'Tata' are synonymous, with the result that the House of Tata and its far-flung organization have the stamp of stability, security and success. It was not an easy success and there is at no stage in its development any trace of the nouveau-riche make-up. Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata was born in 1839, and in his lifetime India remained firmly under British rule. Yet the projects he envisioned laid the foundation for the nation's development once it became independent. More extraordinary still, these institutions continue to set the pace for others in their respective areas. For, among his many achievements are the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, which has groomed some of the country's best scientists, the Tata Steel plant in Jamshedpur, which marked the country's transition from trading to manufacturing, his pioneering hydro-electric project, and the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, one of the finest in the world. In these as in other projects he undertook, Jamsetji revealed the unerring instinct of a man who knew what it would take to restore the pride of a subjugated nation and help it prepare for a place among the leading nations of the world once it came into its own. The scale of the projects required abilities of a high order. In some cases it was sheer perseverance that paid off as with finding a suitable site for the steel project. In others, such as the Indian Institute of Science, it was his exceptional persuasive skills and patience that finally got him the approval of a reluctant viceroy, Lord Curzon. असं म्हणतात जमशेटजी नुसेरवानजी टाटा यांनी मातीचे सोने केले. कुशल व्यवस्थापन, स्पष्ट विचार आणि प्रामाणिकपणाने ही त्यांची जमेची बाजू व्यवसायाची चांगली संधी ओळखण्याची आणि आपल्या देशवासियांना सुधारण्याची निस्वार्थ इच्छाशक्ती त्यांच्याकडे होती. अशाप्रकारे थोडेसे ज्ञात झोरोस्ट्रियन कुटुंब हे भारताच्या औद्योगिक इतिहासातील अग्रगण्य व्यावसायिक घराणे बनले. जमशेदजी नुसेरवानजी टाटा यांच्या जीवनाचा इतिहास त्यांच्या व्यक्तिमत्त्वाचा दृष्टीकोन, जुन्या काळातील परिस्थिती यामुळे आकर्षक आहे. जमशेदजी टाटा यांनी पाया घातला आणि मोठ्या प्रमाणावर भारतीय उद्योग आणि उद्योगाचे स्थान मजबूत केले. भारतीय उद्योगात 'अखंडता' आणि 'टाटा' हे शब्द समानार्थी आहेत, परिणामी टाटा हाऊस आणि त्याच्या दूरवरच्या संस्थेवर स्थिरता, सुरक्षितता आणि यशाचा शिक्का आहे. हे सोपे यश नव्हते आणि त्याच्या विकासाच्या कोणत्याही टप्प्यावर नोव्यू-श्रीमंत मेक-अपचा कोणताही ट्रेस नाही. जमशेदजी नुसेरवानजी टाटा यांचा जन्म १८३९ मध्ये झाला आणि त्यांच्या हयातीत भारत ब्रिटीशांच्या अधिपत्याखाली राहिला. तरीही त्यांनी कल्पना केलेल्या प्रकल्पांनी देश स्वतंत्र झाल्यावर देशाच्या विकासाचा पाया ...
