From inspiring tales to heartfelt quotes, internet users have fondly remembered Legendary industrialist Ratan Tata. Following his death, the Tata Trusts, in an official statement, confirmed the appointment of Noel Naval Tata as its new chairman last week. Ratan Tata’s love for his dogs, particularly for his German Shepherds, is well-known. His bond with his pets reflects his compassionate nature and deep appreciation for animals.
In what is likely a first for India, industrialist and philanthropist Ratan Tata has included provisions in his will to guarantee “unlimited” care for his German Shepherd, Tito. Yes, you heard it right. After the passing of his previous dog, also named Tito, Tata adopted another German Shepherd and made provisions in his will to ensure that Tito would receive “unlimited” care. This gesture highlights his commitment to his pets’ well-being.
Although leaving wealth for pets is common in the West, it is still rare in India. Ratan Tata, with an estate valued at over Rs 10,000 crore, has also allocated assets to his foundation, his brother Jimmy Tata, half-sisters Shireen and Deanna Jejeebhoy, as well as house staff and others.
Tito, adopted five or six years ago following the passing of Ratan Tata’s previous dog of the same name, will be looked after by his longtime cook, Rajan Shaw. The will also makes provisions for Tata’s butler, Subbiah, with whom he shared a close, three-decade-long relationship. Tata was known to purchase designer clothes for both of them during his travels abroad.
His executive assistant, Shantanu Naidu, is also mentioned in the will. Tata relinquished his stake in Naidu’s companionship venture, Goodfellows, and waived a personal loan Naidu had taken for overseas education.
According to the Times of India report, Sources suggest that N. Chandrasekaran, the chief of Tata Sons, is likely to chair the Ratan Tata Endowment Foundation(RTEF.) The Halekai house in Colaba, where Ratan Tata lived until his death, is owned by Ewart Investments, a fully owned subsidiary of Tata Sons. The future of this property will be determined by Ewart. Ratan Tata was the architect behind both the Halekai house and the Alibaug bungalow, but the future of the Alibaug property remains unknown.
Ratan Tata designed both the Halekai house and the Alibaug bungalow, though the fate of the Alibaug property remains uncertain.
