Ratan Tata, Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, reached Jamshedpur on Tuesday to celebrate the birth anniversary of Tata Group founder Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata. Ratan Tata took to Instagram this morning to share some glimpses of the Founder's Day celebrations in the city which was named after the founder of Tata Group. One of India's first planned cities, Jamshedpur in Jharkhand was selected by Jamsetji Tata as the location of his steel plant. It was in 1919 that Lord Chelmsford renamed it Jamshedpur in his honour.

Jamsetji Tata founded the Tata Group as a private trading firm in 1868. Regarded as the 'Father of Indian Industry', he was born in Navsari on March 3, 1839. The Tata Iron and Steel Industry he set up is considered to be the oldest industry in India.

On his 182nd birth anniversary, Ratan Tata paid his tribute to the founder of the Tata Group, writing that Jamsetji Tata had inspired many with his "empathy and kindness over the years."
