During the service, several speakers took to the podium to reflect on Tata’s extraordinary vision and humanity. “Ratan Tata was not just a business leader; he was a guiding light for many,” remarked Natarajan Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons. “His commitment to ethical practices and social responsibility redefined corporate leadership.”

Tata’s philanthropic initiatives, particularly through the Tata Trusts, were a focal point of the tributes. Known for investing in education, healthcare, and rural development, Tata’s contributions have positively impacted millions of lives across the country. “He believed in the power of giving back,” said a close family friend. “His legacy will continue to inspire future generations to contribute to society.”

As the ceremony concluded, a symbolic gesture was made with the release of doves into the sky, representing freedom and peace—a testament to Tata’s vision for a better world. Attendees were encouraged to carry forward his mission of compassion and innovation.
