12. There is a difference between making money for oneself and creating
wealth for others. This is the story of a business house that has created
wealth for a nation. It is a story of struggle, anxiety, adventure and
achievement. This is the story of our pioneers.
Jamsetji Tata: The Founder of the Tata group began with a textile
mill in central India in the 1870s. His powerful vision inspired the
steel and power industries in India, set the foundation for technical
educaton, and helped the country leapfrog from backwardness to the
ranks of industrialised nations.
Sir Dorab Tata: Through his endeavours in setting up Tata Steel
and Tata Power, this elder son of Jamsetji Tata was instrumental
in transforming his father's grand vision into reality. It was also
under his leadership that the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, the premier
charitable endowment of the Tatas, was created, propelling the
Tata tradition of philanthropy.

13. Sir Ratan Tata: Jamsetji Tata's younger son had a personality
that reflected his sensitivity to the struggles of ordinary people
and his desire to utilise his considerable wealth to enhance the
quality of public life. A philanthropist all his life, he created a
trust fund for "the advancement of learning and for the relief of
human suffering and other works of public utility." The Sir
Ratan Tata Trust is today the second largest of the Tata trusts.
JRD Tata: The late chairman of the Tata Group pioneered civil
aviation on the subcontinent in 1932 by launching the airline now
known as Air India. That was the first of many path-breaking
achievements that JRD, who guided the destiny of the Group for
more than half a century, came to be

14. The Tata group is one of India's oldest, largest and most respected
business conglomerates. The group's businesses are spread over seven
