The man who ran the $67 billion Tata conglomerate for 21 years, is known to be a visionary who ran his business for his people, and employees as much as shareholders. He retired in 2014, but continues to remain the chairman emeritus of the group which has interests ranging from cars to salt factories to technology and power plants and airlines. He also made personal investments in several startups. The octogenarian has a lot of wisdom to share, and here are some of his best quotes : One should aim to deliver more than what is expected of him. It stands out to be a great practice to get noticed for the difference one is making

 There are a plethora of ideas out in the world but only a few have the courage to go ahead and execute it. If one strongly believes in his idea, he must also muster all the courage and not fear to put it into action.

Ratan Tata's most inspirational quotes on life, business and culture

Mumbai, Apr 20 () He steered the country's largest industrial house Tata Group for over two decades and is a doyen among business leaders. Still, 82-year-old Ratan Tata regrets that he was not able to practise as an architect for long. Tata on Monday emphasised that despite not being able to practice architecture, he gained directly from the sense of humanism that architecture renders. "I always wanted to be an architect because it renders a deeper sense of humanism. Also, architecture has motivated me and I had a deep interest in that field. But my father wanted me to be an engineer and I spent two years in engineering. "Those years of engineering convinced me that I needed to be an architect which is where my interest really was," he said during an online seminar organised by Corpgini on 'Future of Design and Construction'. Now, the Chairman Emeritus of the over USD 100-billion Tata Group, Tata received a degree in architecture from Cornell University in 1959. Tata said that barring those two years after his graduation from Cornell, he worked in an architect's office in Los Angeles till his return to India and joining the family business. "However, I spent the rest of my life outside architecture," he said. "I never regretted being an architect. I only regret that I was not able to practise it long. "But the sensitivity that you create as an architect, the ability to put things together, the ability to run a project on the basis of a budget, the intricacies of different materials coming together… all those things are well taught in an architectural curriculum. And if someone says one wouldn't be equipped to do business as an architect (then it) is not a fair statement," he quipped. Born on December 28, 1937, Tata joined the Tata Group in 1962 and later took over as the group chairman in 1991. He led the group till December 2012. PSK RAM

"You bring your zeal, your vigor, your integrity and most importantly your hard work. It is because of you that we can derive and obtain the opportunity and the privilege to serve our community and through that, our nation," Tata wrote in a letter on the occasion of the 178th birth anniversary of Tata Trusts founder Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata. It’s also the 125th year of the philanthropic organization. 
 
It was in 1892 that Tata Trusts was set up, in the form of the JN Tata Endowment, followed by Sir Ratan Tata trust in 1919, Sir Dorabji Tata Trust in 1932, the JRD Tata Trust in 1944, the Navajbai Ratan Tata Trust Jamsetji Tata Trust in 1974 and lastly, the Tata Education and Development Trust in 2008.

The actor will also be a GOQii coach conducting live video sessions on GOQii Play.

I ended up running marathons, went to Everest Base camp ,” Gondal had told Business Insider during an interview. He realised back then that people didn’t lack access to gyms but instead lacked motivation to work out. Today, GoQii has marquee investors like Ratan Tata, Vijay Shekhar Sharma Mitsui, DSG Consumer Partners among others on its board. For Gondal, it has been a great journey from being called crazy for starting a hardware startup with a subscription model to today being one of the market leaders along with Xiaomi in the affordable <keyword id="18974" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="fitness">fitness</keyword> wearable space. “Another big thing we were able to do was use the health data to give our users discounts from insurance companies. So we went from being a coaching and wearables company to have an entire healthcare ecosystem on our platform,” said Gondal.

<ul><li>Subash Chandra has an indelible place in the Indian history as the one who launched the country’ first satellite TV channel ‘Zee TV’ in the year 1992. </li><li>Reaching a top position among the top business tycoons of India was not an easy journey for this motivated entrepreneur. </li><li>Here are a few interesting facts about Subash Chandra that will inspire many. </li></ul>In 1992, Subash Chandra launched the first ever satellite TV in India called Zee TV. On November 25, 2019, the billionaire had to abide by SEBI regulations and relinquish his chairmanship of the company he founded - Zee Entertainment Enterprises after pledging his shares. Nevertheless, he continues to be associated with the company as a non-executive director. Here are a few interesting facts about Subash Chandra. Growing years Chandra was born in Adampur in Haryana and belonged to an Agarwal Bania family. As his family’s debt swelled to Rs 3.5 lakh, they could not support his education. He dropped out of school and took up the family business of trading and working with the Food Corporation of India. In 1992 he started Zee TV, the second private commercial TV channel and in 2003 he started Dish TV, the first ever satellite television provider in the country. His innovation in food grains supplies In 1983, Chandra had an innovative idea to store the food grains held in stock by the Food Corporation of India. Earlier the grains were stored in godowns. Chandra came up with the idea of keeping the grain in open yards and covering them with specially designated plastic sheets. He prepared the ground by convincing the FCI and procured machines from Switzerland to manufacture the special sheets. Since there were no trained engineers to coordinate with the production process, more than 98% of the production went to waste. Eventually he sent engineers to Switzerland and trained them to start the manufacturing process afresh and proved to be successful. Essel World is born Towards the end of 1980s, Chandra visited DisneyLand in the US. Inspired by his learning, he purchased hundreds of acres of land in North Mumbai and created Essel World, which was the first ever amusement park in India in 1989. Though Essel World did not give the expected success, it paved the way for the creation of Zee TV which came to challenge the domination by Doordarshan, the government-owned TV channel. An inspirer Subash Chandra launched a new show in order to motivate the youth and help them face and overcome the difficulties of life. The show was entitled “Dr Subash Chandra Show”. In 2004, Chandra was awarded the Global Indian Entertainment Personality of the Year Award. He won many notable awards like Entrepreneur of the Year Award by Ernst &amp; Young and Business Standard’s Businessman of the year in 1999; Indian News Broadcasting awards in 2010; and more.

Rising above the rival companies and proving their winning talent in the ecommerce arena was never an ordinary feat for them. Here are some interesting facts about the founders of Snapdeal that you might not have known. A decisive move in their success path In one of the bravest moves they attempted in their life, they desisted accepting a merger deal with Flipkart and turned their focus on a large base of 400 million value-conscious shoppers in India. This tough decision decided their success later. They related well to the Indian market Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal realized that the ecommerce companies inspired by the western and US model had little relevance to the Indian buyers since a large segment of online shoppers in India always looked for products that suited their moderate earnings. This awareness helped them fine tune their business model and relate well to the Indian market scenario. They motivated their employees excellently Kunal and Rohit believed in creating a clear picture of the company’s goal among all the employees. To this end, they constantly motivated their workforce in several ways time and again. Kunal said, “In our company, if you wake up any of our team members at 3 A.M. at night from their sleep and ask them ‘what are the goals of Snapdeal?’ They wouldn’t even hesitate to answer you with our top three quantitative goals. This understanding cascades down from Rohit and me to everyone else in the company.” They own over 16% stake in the company Kunal Bansal and Rohit Bansal together own over 16% stake in the firm. Their journey in the online market place was strenuous in raising nearly $2 billion in funds for their capital. In fact the documents show that the share of Bansal who is the chief operating officer is lower than 2.44%. They control their company lesser than their peers While PayTm founder Vijay Sharma controls 20% of the payments and Flipkart co-founders Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal own about 15% of their company together, Snapdeal co-founders app-ear to control their company less than their peers. They started Snapdeal as a daily deal website They started Snapdeal in 2010 only as a daily deal website focusing on deals and coupons for restaurants, travel, shopping, fitness and beauty products. Eventually it turned into an online store in September 2011. They created a town in their company’s name Their Indian base is strategically located in a village near Muzaffarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh. The village Shiv Namager was changed into Snapdeal. The founders of Snapdeal provided a long list of amenities for the village to improve the quality of their lives. They reached out to a broad customer base Snapdeal has over 20 million registered users and over 200 million products brought in by more than 5 lakh sellers. Snapdeal delivers its products in more than 5000 towns and cities in the country.
