When you hear the name of Ratan Tata, a person who is humble, polite and calm comes to mind. At the same time, he is one of the best businessmen in India. A lot is known about the personal lives of many famous people these days through social media. Ratan Tata also shares various moments of his personal life with everyone through his Instagram account.
Once again she shared a picture of her family life on her Instagram account. The chairman of Tata & Sons shared a picture of a moment with his brother Jimmy Tata. He wrote in the post, ‘Those happy days. Nothing came between us then.’ Then he wrote, ‘With my brother Jimmy Tata in 1945.’ Ratan Tata shared a 78-year-old black and white photo.
Much is known about Ratan Tata but not much is known about his brother Jimmy. Jimmy and Ratan have another brother Noel Tata. He is the son of Naval Tata and his second wife Simone Tata. Jimmy Tata is Ratan’s younger brother. But he was adopted by Sir Ratanji Tata’s wife Nawabai. Jimmy was born in a middle class Parsi family. He lost his father at a young age. Then he was adopted by the Tata family.
Did you know of Ratan Tata’s younger brother Jimmy Tata who lives a quiet reticent life in a humble 2 bhk flat in Colaba, Mumbai! Never interested in business, he was a very good squash player and would beat me every time.
Low profile like the Tata group! pic.twitter.com/hkp2sHQVKq— Harsh Goenka (@hvgoenka) January 19, 2022
Jimmy remains single. A lifelong employee of the Tata Group, he retired from all positions in the early nineties. It is known that Jimmy lives a very simple life. Still not using any mobile phone. 82 year old Jimmy lives in a 2 room flat in Colaba, alone. But Jimmy had no interest in business. He could play squash very well.
Jimmy’s relationship with the Tata Group has not been completely severed despite his retirement. He is a shareholder in Tata Sons, TCS, Tata Motors, Tata Steel, Tata Chemicals, Indian Hotels and Tata Power. Jimmy Tata is also one of the trustees of Sir Ratan Tata Trust.
