Founded by Jamsedji Tata in 1868, the Tata Groups early years were inspired
by the spirit of nationalism. The Group pioneered several industries of
national importance in India: steel, power, hospitality and airlines. In more
recent times, the Tata Groups pioneering spirit has been showcased by
companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Indias first software company,
which pioneered the international delivery model, and Tata Motors, which
made Indias first indigenously developed car, the Indica, in 1998 and
recently unveiled the worlds lowest-cost car, the Tata Nano, for commercial
launch by end of 2008. In terms of market capitalization and revenues, Tata
Group is the largest private corporate group in India and has been
recognized as one of the most respected groups in the world. It has interests
in steel, automobiles, information technology, communication, power, tea
and hospitality. The Tata Group has operations in more than 85 countries
across six continents and its companies export products and services to 80
nations. In the past few years, the TATA group has led the growing appetite
among Indian companies to acquire businesses overseas in Europe, the
United States, Australia and Africa - some even several times larger - in a bid
to consolidate operations and emerge as the new age multinationals.
The TATA group is 11th most reputable company in the world according to
Forbes.
At home in the world
Anchored in India and committed to its traditional values of leadership with trust, the Tata group
is spreading its footprint globally through excellence and innovation. Each operating Company
in the group develops its international business as an integral element in an overall strategy,
depending on the competitive dynamics of the industry in which it operates. Exports from India
remain the cornerstone of the Tata groups international business, but different Tata companies
are increasingly investing in assets overseas through Greenfield projects (such as in South Africa,
Bangladesh and Iran), joint ventures (in South Africa, Morocco and China) and acquisitions.

Priority markets
While individual Tata companies have differing geographical imperatives, the Tata group is
focusing on a clutch of priority countries, which are expected to be of strategic importance in the
years ahead. The regions are North America, UK, China, the Netherlands, Germany, South
Africa, and members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand and Sri Lanka.
Ratan Tata, Chairman, Tata Sons, sums up the Tata groups efforts to internationalize its
operations thus: I hope that a hundred years from now we will spread our wings far beyond
India, that we become a global group, operating in many countries, an Indian business
conglomerate that is at home in the world, carrying the same sense of trust that we do today.
The Tata name has been respected in India for 140 years for its adherence to strong values and
business ethics. The Groups 27 publicly listed enterprises have a combined market capitalization
of some $60 billion, among the highest among Indian business houses, and a shareholder base of
3.2 million.
In tandem with the increasing international footprint of its companies, the Group is also gaining
international recognition. Brand Finance, a UK-based consultancy firm, recently valued the Tata
brand at $11.4 billion and ranked it 57th amongst the Top 100 brands in the world.
Businessweekranked the Group sixth amongst the Worlds Most Innovative Companies. And the
Reputation Institute, USA, recently rated it as the Worlds Sixth Most Reputed Firm.
The Tata Group has always believed in returning wealth to the society it serves. Two thirds of the
equity of Tata Sons, the Tata Groups promoter company, is held by philanthropic trusts, which
have created national institutions in science and technology, medical research, social studies and
the performing arts. The trusts also provide aid and assistance to NGOs in the areas of education,
healthcare and livelihoods. Tata companies also extend social welfare activities to communities
around their industrial units.

Arunodaya spreading renewable energy awareness

The Tata Power Solar initiated Arunodaya Programmeis an important first step towards ensuring
global energy and climate security. Arunodaya interacts with schools, colleges, NGOs and other
institutions to create awareness on renewable energy with a focus on solar energy through
workshops, lectures and site visits. It aims at engaging like-minded individuals, decision makers
and opinion leaders in an evolving dialogue on solar energy, its economic and ecological
viability, versatile applications, technological advances and potential of improving millions of
lives.

Our commitment to sustainability

There is no point in creating eco-friendly products, if the process of manufacturing these
products itself is not eco-sensitive. Tata Power Solar projects have generated income and

employment for neighbouring communities, bringing essential electricity to their homes and
workplaces. We demand sustainable practices not just in our own business environment but also
in the companies we choose to partner with, effecting a percolation of quality and sustainability
through the supply chain, all the way to the consumer.
