Ratan Tata’s Unbelievable Simplicity That Took Gadkari by Surprise

Nitin Gadkari said he was really sad. Ratan Tata died. He was 86 years old. Gadkari called him a great man. He passed away in Mumbai, on Wednesday night at a hospital.

Gadkari told how Tata was always simple. Once, Ratan Tata came to visit Gadkari at his home. He didn’t bring a driver. Didn’t even ask for help. Tata forgot Gadkari’s address. He called Gadkari. “I’m driving myself, can you tell me how to reach?” Tata said. No guards, no fancy cars. Gadkari was amazed.

Another time, Gadkari invited Tata to open a hospital in Aurangabad. Tata said no at first. He said he doesn’t do openings, not even for Tata factories. But, Gadkari asked again. So, Tata agreed. Gadkari told an official to carry Tata’s bag at the airport. But Tata said no. “This is my luggage. I’ll carry it myself,” Tata said. He liked to do things alone.

Tata helped India’s economy. Built jobs. Changed industries like cars, steel, computers. He led the Tata Group for many years, a big company that made salt and software. Gadkari learned a lot from him. Tata was very humble.

Ratan Tata died Wednesday night. He was at the hospital for a few days. He had big awards, like the Padma Vibhushan. People loved him for his kindness and how he helped others.

Many people cried for him. Prime Minister Modi also said India lost a leader. Tata changed the whole country. His company, his ideas, they helped India grow. Everyone will miss him.
