Meet Ratan Tata's Brother Jimmy Who Resides In 2 BHK Flat in Mumbai, Doesn't Own A Phone

Mumbai: While Ratan Tata was a celebrated industrialist, his brother Jimmy Tata led a low-profile life - in complete oblivion - so much so that he still resides in a two-BHK flat in Mumbai's Colaba. Besides, Jimmy does not use a mobile phone.

Sharing an image with the 82-year-old Jimmy, Ratan Tata had captioned the image, "Those were happy days. Nothing came between us. (1945 with my brother Jimmy)."

Ambani, Adani Mourn Tata's Death

Mourning the death of the legendary industrialist, RIL Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani called him one of India's most illustrious and kind-hearted sons.

Tata Group's chairman emeritus and veteran industrialist Ratan Tata died at a Mumbai hospital late on Wednesday night. Tata, who led the salt-to-software conglomerate to new heights, was 86.

Besides Ambani, billionaire Gautam Adani as well as auto legend Anand Mahindra mourned Tata's demise.

"It is a very sad day for India and India Inc. Ratan Tata's passing away is a big loss, not just to the Tata Group, but to every Indian," Ambani said in his condolence message. "At a personal level, the passing of Ratan Tata has filled me with immense grief as I lost a dear friend." Recalling his numerous interactions with Tata that left him "inspired and energised", he said Ratan Tata was a visionary industrialist and philanthropist who always strove for society's greater good.

Interactions with him "enhanced my respect for the nobility of his character and the fine human values he embodied," Ambani said in a statement.

"With the demise of Mr Ratan Tata, India has lost one of her most illustrious and kind-hearted sons. Mr Tata took India to the world and brought the best of the world to Bharat. He institutionalised the House of Tata and made it an international enterprise growing the Tata group over 70 times since the time he took over as Chairman in 1991," he added. "Ratan, you will always remain in my heart." Adani said India has lost "a giant, a visionary who redefined modern India's path".

"Ratan Tata wasn't just a business leader - he embodied the spirit of India with integrity, compassion and an unwavering commitment to the greater good. Legends like him never fade away. Om Shanti," he said in a post on X. (with PTI inputs)
