A Journey with Ratan Tata was a tale of humility and friendship, says former Coal India Chairman RN Sharma who served major Tata Group companies in key posts. The centenarian, a former Vice President of Tata Steel and an ex-Managing Director of Tata Tinplate, recollected how he met Ratan Tata. That was when I first met Ratan Tata in 1967-68, a young man brimming with curiosity and determination," recalls the centenarian. Here was the Chairman of Tata Group, riding in a humble taxi, sharing a ride and laughter as if we were old friends. A number of Tata Steel workers described him as "God" for them who determined daily wages for him far above the practice.
