Ratan Tata's legacy lives on through his impactful yet humble leadership. Known for his integrity and commitment, he turned challenges into triumphs, exemplified by his role in launching the Nano car and uniting the Tata Group during tumultuous times. His grace and dedication leave a lasting mark on India's business landscape.

Following Ratan Tata's passing, Tata Trusts faces a crucial decision in selecting a new chairman. With Noel Tata emerging as the likely candidate, his appointment would uphold the tradition of having a Parsi leader and maintain a connection to the founding family.

Ratan Tata guided the Tata Group into new sectors like telecom and cars, and drove innovation with projects like the Indica and Nano. He oversaw over 60 acquisitions and took TCS public. After appointing and later replacing Cyrus Mistry, his philanthropic efforts through Tata Trusts transformed healthcare and education. Post-retirement, he invested in startups like Upstox and Ola Electric.

Ratan Tata's strategic acquisitions, starting with Tetley in 2000 for $432 million, transformed Tata Group into a global powerhouse. He orchestrated over 60 acquisitions, including Jaguar-Land Rover. While successes mounted, not all ventures thrived, such as Tata Steel's Corus purchase. The journey redefined India's corporate footprint internationally.

Ratan Tata's dedication to animal welfare is evident in the Tata Group's Bombay House, which includes a facility for stray dogs. His efforts led to the opening of the Small Animal Hospital Mumbai, providing advanced medical care for small animals. Tata's social media also frequently advocates for animal adoption and welfare.

VIENTIANE, Laos — The test of Asean's unity lies in how the bloc deals with internal challenges such as the situation in Myanmar, as well as key regional issues, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Wednesday (Oct 9). This is even as the 10-member grouping faces an increasingly «troubled and turbulent» external environment, he said, addressing fellow Asean leaders at the 44th and 45th Asean Summits and related meetings held in Vientiane, Laos. PM Wong, who delivered three speeches on Oct 9, also urged Asean leaders to remain united in purpose despite its diverse grouping and member states' own positions on regional and global issues. The annual regional gathering is being held against the backdrop of increasing geopolitical tensions, as well as concerns over rising military conflict in the Middle East, maritime disputes in the South China Sea, the broader US-China rivalry, and the continued civil unrest in Myanmar since the 2021 military coup.
