In the build up to the 183th anniversary of its founding, the Tata Group’s social media pages shared many fascinating stories about Jamsetji’s vision and thoughts. In a tweet on Thursday, the group revealed that it was Jamsetji who first came up with the idea of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link in the 1800s. The idea emerged a century later and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link is part of the identity of Mumbai today.
The Bandra-Worli Sea Link dominates our feeds and the skyline of Mumbai. But few see it for what it is – an expression of an idea envisioned by our founder, Jamsetji Tata. On the eve of his 183rd birth anniversary, we return to his dream of India’s first steel enterprise #legendliveson pic.twitter.com/oOpy7BJM33— Tata Group (@TataCompanies) 2 March 2022
Often regarded as the ‘Father of Indian Industries’, Jamsetji founded the Tata Group in 1968, when India was still under British occupation. He started a cotton trading company in 1868 with an investment of Rs 21,000, which today has grown into a multi-billion conglomerate with businesses around the world.
In 1874, Jamsetji established the Empress Mills in Nagpur, which took the trade beyond the confines of Mumbai, which was till then the textile hub of India. The Empress Bill pioneered the welfare of the workforce decades before it was enacted into law. He also formed the JN Tata Endowment Fund in 1892 to encourage and fund Indian students to pursue quality education in the global universities of the time.
He was also a pioneer of the hospitality industry in India and laid the foundation for the first five-star hotel in India, the Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai. Years later, the hotel is today one of the most prestigious hotels in the world. Jamsetji died in Germany in 1904 at the age of 65.
