Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said the conglomerate would keep upholding the legacy of its founder Jamsetji Tata, while remaining committed to the principles of integrity, innovation and social responsibility.

Chandrasekaran made the statement at a gathering after paying homage to Jamsetji Tata on his 185th birth anniversary, at the Postal Park on Sunday in Bistupur, located in Jamshedpur of Jharkhand.

In this occasion, we reaffirm our commitment to the principles of integrity, innovation, and social responsibility that have guided us since our inception," Chandrasekaran said.
