Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, passed away on Wednesday, October 9, due to age-related health issues. Following the announcement of his death, tributes flooded in from around the globe. Among the heartfelt remembrances was a special illustration shared by Amul on Instagram, a brand recognized for its poignant topical tributes. The dairy brand honored Tata with a touching post that reflected the deep admiration for the industrialist.
The black-and-white illustration depicted Ratan Tata sitting on a chair, holding a piece of paper, alongside a younger version of himself riding a bicycle. The artwork features the text, “Poore vatan ka Ratan. Ratan Tata (1937-2024),” with the caption reading, “Amul Topical: Tribute to the business tycoon with a heart of gold.”
