Ratan Tata Death: Veteran businessman Ratan Tata died late night on Wednesday (09 October), after which VK Mathews, Chairman of IBS Software, expressed deep grief on Thursday (10 October) and recalled some meetings with Ratan Tata and said that He was having dinner with Ratan Tata in his hotel in New York, but his staff could not recognize him.
He said that the most special thing for him was Ratan Tata’s humility. Mathews told that he got a chance to spend some time with Ratan Tata during his trip to America and there are two special things from that trip which will always remain with him.
Ratan Tata was checking the bill in his own hotel
He told that one morning both of them were having breakfast together in Ratan Tata’s hotel in New York. But Tata did not reveal his identity to the employees. This was a small, but clear sign of his humility. On the same day, he and his family met Ratan Tata in another restaurant. He was surprised that Ratan Tata himself was paying through his credit card and was checking the food bill himself. This is a very small thing, but it tells about his character.
Ratan Tata used to connect with people quickly
Mathews told that Ratan Tata had laughingly asked him in another hotel, “Am I following you or are you following me?” His comments showed how quickly he connects with people, no matter what the situation.
huge loss for the country
Mathews said that his death is a big loss for the business world and the country. He said that Ratan Tata was a visionary who was a symbol of the energy, hope and success of emerging India. More than a visionary entrepreneur, Ratan Tata was a man with a deep and genuine commitment to the economic and social progress of India. Despite so many achievements, he always remained connected to the ground.
