The Tata Group, an Indian multinational conglomerate, adopted a strategy of international expansion through global acquisitions under the leadership of Ratan Tata. As several Tata companies faced challenges from domestic market saturation and regulations in the 1990s, the group pursued acquisitions to diversify and achieve growth in foreign markets. Major Tata acquisitions included Tetley Tea, Corus Steel, Jaguar Land Rover, and several hotel brands. These global acquisitions transformed the Tata Group into one of the largest and most diverse international business groups in India.
