Summary:
The Tata Group comprises 98 operating companies in seven business
sectors:
• information systems and communications;
• engineering;
• materials;
• services;
• energy;
• consumer products; and
• chemicals.
The Group was founded by Jamsetji Tata in the mid 110th century, a period
when India had just set out on the road to gaining independence from British
rule. Consequently, Jamsetji Tata and those who followed him aligned
business opportunities with the objective of nation building. This approach
remains enshrined in the Group's ethos to this day.
The Tata Group is one of India's largest and most respected business
conglomerates, with revenues in 2006-07 of $28.8 billion (Rs129,994 crore),
the equivalent of about 3.2 per cent of the country's GDP, and a market
capitalisation of $77.5 billion as on January 3, 2008. Tata companies
together employ some 289,500 people.
The Group's 27 publicly listed enterprises — among them stand out names
such as Tata Steel, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Motors and Tata Tea —
have a combined market capitalisation that is the highest among Indian
business houses in the private sector, and a shareholder base of over 2.9
million.
The Tata Group has operations in more than 85 countries across six
continents, and its companies export products and services to 80 countries.
The Tata brand is more than 100 years old. It has consistently
stood for integrity, values, ethics and quality. For the past few years,
making Tata a global brand has been high on the Group's agenda.
Tata Nano “the people’s car”. The launch of the People's Car by
Tata Motors is a defining moment in the history of India's automotive
industry. For Tata Motors, the car is the next big step in a journey that
began with the Indica. For the Tata Group, it is the realisation of a
pioneering vision to create a breakthrough product globally that rewrites
the rules of the small-car business.
