After returning to India in 1965, Birla struck out on his own in textiles. His Eastern Spinning Mills

in Kolkata quickly became a success, putting the group's sinking rayon and textile business back

on track. He was then placed in charge of the corporation's expansion into the oil sector. It was

also the time thatIndira Gandhiwas consolidating her hold on theCongress Partywith a series of

populist moves-nationalizing banks and enacting draconian controls on private investment. This

greatly dampened his attempt to expand, to build world size-plants, to bring in world-class

technology, or even modernize old plants. Having turned around Indian rayon, he now hungered

after bigger challenges. His thoughts tuned eastward.

In 1969, Birla set up Indo-Thai Synthetics Company Ltd, the group's first overseas company. In

1973, he established P.T. Elegant Textiles to manufacture spun yarn. It marked the group's first

venture in Indonesia. In 1974 Thai Rayon, the Group's Viscose Rayon Staple Fibre business was

incorporated in Thailand. In 1975 The Indo Phil Group of companies, the first Indo-Filipino joint

venture commenced production of spun yarn. In 1977 Pan Century Edible Oils was incorporated

in Malaysia, going on to become the world's largest single-location palm oil refinery. In 1978 Thai

Carbon Black, the Group's first carbon black company was incorporated in Thailand. In 1982 P.T

Indo Bharat Rayon was established, the first producer of Viscose Staple Fibre in Indonesia. All

these ventures not only put the Birla group on world map but also carved a niche for corporate

India. Under his leadership the companies became the largest producer of Viscose staple fibre

and refiner of palm oil.

Ghanshyam Das Birla died in 1983, bequeathing most of his companies to his grandson Aditya.

With Aditya Vikram Birla as the chairman, the Birla group of companies saw success in the

expansion of Hindustan Gas and in the conversion of the sick company Indo-Gulf Fertilisers and

Chemicals Ltd, which was suffering from a liquidity crisis, into a blue-chip company.

Career[edit source|editbeta]

J. R. D. Tata was inspired early by aviation pioneerLouis Blriot, and took to flying. On February 10,

1929 Tata obtained the first pilot licence issued in India.[4]He later came to be known as the father of

Indiancivil aviation. He founded India's first commercial airline, Tata Airlines in 1932, which becameAir

Indiain 1946, now India's national airline.He andNevill Vintcentworked together in buildingTata Airlines.

They were also friends.

He joined Tata & Sons as an unpaid apprentice in 1925. In 1938, at the age of 34, JRD was elected

Chairman of Tata & Sons making him the head of the largest industrial group in India. He took over as

Chairman ofTata Sonsfrom his uncleNowroji Saklatwala. For decades, he directed the huge Tata Group

of companies, with major interests in Steel, Engineering, Power, Chemicals and Hospitality. He was

famous for succeeding in business while maintaining highethicalstandards - refusing to bribe politiciansor use theblack market.

Under his chairmanship, the assets of the Tata Group grew from US$100 million to over US$5billion. He

started with 14 enterprises under his leadership and half a century later on July 26, 1988, when he left,

Tata & Sons was a conglomerate of 95 enterprises which they either started or in which they had

controlling interest.

He was the trustee of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust from its inception in 1932 for over half a century. Under

his guidance, this Trust established Asia's first cancer hospital, the Tata Memorial Center for Cancer,

Research and Treatment, in Bombay in 1941. It also founded the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS,

1936), the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR, 1945), and the National Center for Performing

Arts.

In 1945, he foundedTata Motors. In 1948, JRD Tata launched Air India International as India's first

international airline. In 1953, the Indian Government appointed JRD Tata as Chairman ofAir Indiaand a

director on the Board ofIndian Airlines- a position he retained for 25 years. For his crowning

achievements in aviation, he was bestowed with the title of Honorary Air Commodore of India.

JRD Tata cared greatly for his workers. In 1956, he initiated a program of closer 'employee association

with management' to give workers a stronger voice in the affairs of the company. He firmly believed in

employee welfare and espoused the principles of an eight-hour working day, free medical aid, workers'

provident scheme, and workmen's accident compensation schemes,which were later, adopted as

statutory requirements in India. He was also a founding member of the first Governing Body of NCAER,

theNational Council of Applied Economic Researchin New Delhi,Indias first independent economic

policy institute established in 1956. In 1968, he foundedTata Consultancy Services. In 1979,Tata

Steelinstituted a new practice: a worker being deemed to be "at work" from the moment he leaves home

for work till he returns home from work. This made the company financially liable to the worker for any

mishap on the way to and from work. In 1987, he founded Titan Industries.Jamshedpurwas also

selected as a UN Global Compact City because of the quality of life, conditions of sanitation, roads and

welfare that were offered by Tata Steel.[5]
