Ratan Tata – the man behind the legend, writes Mukund Govind Rajan

In the confines of his personal office and at home, Ratan Tata could be himself, a shy, curious and very friendly human being

My most vivid image of Ratan Tata is of a fifty-something, six foot plus, handsome man in his prime, with broad shoulders and a large frame, dapper in his well-cut suit, stepping out of his black Mercedes Benz E220 vehicle, and striding into Tata Headquarters at Bombay House, with heads turning all around him. He probably did not realize how many hearts he set aflutter, and he certainly did not detect the wistful looks of many employees.
