The Group was founded by Jamsetji Tata in the mid 110th century, a period when India had just set out on the road to gaining independence from British rule. Consequently, Jamsetji Tata and those who followed him aligned business opportunities with the objective of nation building. This approach remains enshrined in the Group's ethos to this day.

The Tata Group is one of India's largest and most respected business conglomerates, with revenues in 2006-07 of $28.8 billion (Rs129,994 crore), the equivalent of about 3.2 per cent of the country's GDP, and a market capitalization of $77.5 billion as on January 3, 2008. Tata companies together employ some 289,500 people.

The Group's 27 publicly listed enterprises — among them stand out names such as Tata Steel, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Motors and Tata Tea — have a combined market capitalization that is the highest among Indian business houses in the private sector, and a shareholder base of over 2.9 million.

The Tata Group has operations in more than 85 countries across six continents, and its companies export products and services to 80 countries.

The Tata brand is more than 100 years old. It has consistently stood for integrity, values, ethics and quality. For the past few years, making Tata a global brand has been high on the Group's agenda.

Tata Nano “the people’s car”. The launch of the People's Car by Tata Motors is a defining moment in the history of India's automotive industry. For Tata Motors, the car is the next big step in a journey that began with the Indica. For the Tata Group, it is the realization of a pioneering vision to create a breakthrough product globally that rewrites the rules of the small-car business.
