The Creation of Wealth: The Tatas From The 19th To The 21st Century Kindle Edition

When Jamsetji Tat started a trading firm in 1868, few could have guessed that he was also starting an important chapter in the making of modern India. Jamsetji saw that the three keys to India's industrial development were steel, hydroelectric power, and technical education and research. A century and a half later, the Tatas can claim with justice to have lined up to the vision of their founder.
This edition includes the story of how the Tatas, with Ratan Tata at the helm, have had to grapple with change in the post-1992 era of economic reforms, when the opening up of India to the world came as both a challenge and a blessing. In a frank epilogue, Ratan Tata talks about the difficulties he faced in implementing change, including resistance from his colleagues. This new edition also has a postscript on the Nano, which has given the most global prominence to the Tata brand.
The Creation of Wealth is R.M. Lala's bestselling account of how the Tatas have been at the forefront in the making of the Indian nation-not just by their phenomenal achievements as industrialists and entrepreneurs but also by their significant contributions in areas like factory reforms, labour and social welfare, medical research, higher education, culture and arts, and rural development.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent history of the Tatas!
Reviewed in India on 27 September 2024

This book on how the economy of India was shaped by the Tatas was a Rakhi gift last year. It was in the backlog of books that I had to read but was intimidated by the very subject - business. I had never read one before.

However, to my pleasant surprise, it read more like a history of the trading concern of the Tatas from its inception in 1868 to 2007. The numbers are there to compare and contrast but it's the narrative which kept me glued to the book.

Focussing on what made the Tata group different from the other companies, the book narrates how those at the helm etched out not just a business conglomerate but also decided to partake in the development of training centres, social welfare programmes, the human resources in our country, and ultimately the environment of the country. It is a chronicle of how the Directors created wealth not just for themselves but also its employees , the citizens of India and the nation at large. This has been the most distinguishing feature of the Tatas apart from the focus on the highest standards of quality and ethics.

It has been a motivating read and I would heartily suggest it to anyone who may be interested in the journey of visionaries and pioneers of paths uncharted by any before them.

Too many names has been used and coherence is not that good but representation of factual information was good. It could have been better if there would be good connection between all those facts.

I bought this book to get into the mind of the founder of the Tata Group as we know it. Unfortunately, it didn't do that for me. If anyone can refer me to a book that enables me get into the mind of the founder of Tata Group, please notify me by sending me an e-mail to ui.ukpong@gmail.com. Thanks!

This book needs little introduction to most Indians, but is a legendary story of entrepreneurship and the mind of Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the founder of the Tata group. There is learning for students, executive and for the whole family.
