Happy Birthday J.R.D Tata: The Father Of Indian Aviation

On this day, July 29, 1904, the enterprising legend was born who started working at TATA (his uncle Jamsetji Tata’s firm) as an unpaid intern only to later grow into the founder of the prestigious Tata Group. Being a French citizen by birth, Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata, the man behind the mammoth Tata Empire, embraced Indian citizenship to expand an industrial group of 14 enterprises with net worth of $100 million into a conglomeration of 95 enterprises of staggering net worth of US $5 billion. Though, in person he may not be around but his achievements leave an ever lasting impact.

While his zeal for flying is a less known fact, there are many others which detail the life of this high aiming man who wrote a new chapter in the history of the Tata family. Here is a collection of less known interesting facts about JRD Tata or “Jeh” as his friends lovingly called him.
