“Tata Steel Story
The story of Tata Steel is a century old. And so is the story of steel in India. Etched with the visions and hardships of a single man, the story has flowed through ages to re-define steel in every way. The saga, which started in 1907, completed a century of trust in 2007 and carries on. Over the years this one company has discovered different avenues of effective steel utilisation and its story defines and re-defines conventional wisdom in more ways than one.
As India was left slightly dazzled and overwhelmed in the wake of the Industrial Revolution in England the leading Indian intellectuals of the 19th century believed that if India were to keep pace with the world it would have to master the modern scientific methods of the West. It was this vision of constructive change that led Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata to embark on a journey of growth that paved the path for industrialisation in India. Within his lifetime, Jamsetji was to witness the birth of a revolutionary Indian nationalism that would assist in the emergence of independent India, the spirit of which could already be felt when he died in 1904.”
