In a remarkable gesture, the late Indian business tycoon Ratan Tata, who passed away at 86, has left £91 million to his cherished German shepherd, Tito.
Known for transforming Tata Group into a global enterprise, Tata’s will reflects his profound affection for his loyal pet and gratitude toward his trusted aides.
In an unexpected move, Tata allocated much of his wealth for the lifelong care of Tito, instead of passing it to his siblings, Jimmy Tata and half-sisters Shireen and Deanna Jejeebhoy.
Additionally, he ensured substantial financial support for his former butler, Konar Subbiah, and cook, Rajan Shaw, who will continue to look after Tito. Tata’s friend Suhel Seth shared that this gesture illustrates Tata’s deep loyalty, securing Subbiah and Shaw’s financial well-being for life.
Throughout his career, Tata’s vision and ambition led Tata Group to major international acquisitions, such as the British tea company Tetley in 2000 for $432 million and the Anglo-Dutch steelmaker Corus in 2007 for $13 billion—the largest foreign acquisition by an Indian company at the time.
Ratan Tata’s legacy endures not only through his business achievements but also through his loyalty to those who supported him, leaving behind a story of compassion and enduring bonds.
