Tata companies operate in seven business sectors:

communications and information technology, engineering,

materials, services, energy, consumer products and chemicals.

They are, by and large, based in India and have significant

international operations. The total revenue of Tata companies,

taken together, was $70.8 billion (around Rs325, 334 crores) in

2008-09, with 64.8 per cent of this coming from business outside

India, and they employ around 363,039 people worldwide. The

Tata name has been respected in India for 140 years for its

adherence to strong values and business ethics.

Every Tata company or enterprise operates independently. Each

of these companies has its own board of directors and

shareholders, to whom it is answerable. There are 28 publicly

listed Tata enterprises and they have a combined market

capitalization of some $60 billion, and a shareholder base of 3.5

million. The major Tata companies are Tata Steel, Tata Motors,
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Power, Tata Chemicals,

Tata Tea, Indian Hotels and Tata Communications.

Founded by Jamsetji Tata in 1868, Tata’s early years were

inspired by the spirit of nationalism. It pioneered several

industries of national importance in India: steel, power,

hospitality and airlines. In more recent times, its pioneering spirit

has been showcased by companies such as TCS, India’s first

software company, and Tata Motors, which made India’s first

indigenously developed car, the Indica, in 1998 and recently

unveiled the world’s lowest-cost car, the Tata Nano.
