Ratan Tata’s Emotional Farewell: A Glimpse into the Bond with His Brother Jimmy Tata
A few days ago, Ratan Tata shared a heartwarming childhood photo with his younger brother, Jimmy Tata, from 1945, reminiscing about their joyful moments together. Today, Jimmy Tata bid a tearful final farewell to his elder brother, Ratan Tata, who passed away at Breachcandy Hospital in Mumbai. At the cremation in Worli, the grief of losing a brother who had been a guiding force, much like a protective banyan tree, was evident on Jimmy’s face.
Jimmy Tata: The Quiet Life of Ratan Tata’s Brother
Jimmy Tata, two years younger than Ratan Tata, has lived a simple and private life in a two-bedroom flat in Mumbai’s Colaba area. Unlike his brother, Jimmy has remained out of the spotlight, preferring a low-profile existence. He doesn’t own a mobile phone or television and stays informed through newspapers. Though not involved in the limelight, Jimmy serves as a Trustee on the Tata Group’s Board of Trustees and holds positions on several company boards.
A Bond Beyond Words
Just a few days ago, Ratan Tata posted the 1945 photo of him and Jimmy, capturing a happy childhood moment with their pet dog. Jimmy, who is unmarried like Ratan, came to the crematorium today, his eyes filled with memories and sorrow. The weight of losing his brother, his lifelong companion, was palpable.
Harsh Goenka’s Tribute
Businessman Harsh Goenka had once shared insights into Jimmy Tata’s quiet life, mentioning his fondness for squash and how he often bested Goenka in the game. Jimmy, like the Tata family, shunned the limelight and remained humble despite his family’s prominence. Jimmy Tata, while not as widely known as his half-brother Noel Tata, held a special place in Ratan Tata’s life, as seen in their shared moments of affection and remembrance.
