Dear Jeh,
I still remember the day when you passed on the task of running the group into my hands. The media had written me off and there was dissent in cetain quarters of the group to boot. You were the one who evinced confidence me and encouraged me to proceed with the daunting task of restructuring the group so that it can embrace globalization. Your approval of the restructure plan, which i conceived in the early 80's in newyork while sitting next to my ailing mother, has proved to be visionary. In this letter i want to apprise you of the tremendous success achieved by the group across all businesses without compromising the values instilled by Jamestji and yourself. The corridors of Bombay house are jubilient again, the group has rejuvenated itself and is ready to take on global corporations.The battle for Corus is finally over. I am glad to say : ave corus aapri che. My dream of developing a people's car is on the verge of fruition, despite the political quagmire fomented by rivals, the car will hopefully be launched in India in 2008. I wish you were here to test drive my dream car. The country seems to have realized the contribution of the group hence made me the poster boy of indian business. I have been on the cover of almost all the business magazines and t.v. journalists are vying for my interview. Some are also saying that the coveted Bharat Ratna is in the offing. . I took a sortie in the F-16 and F-18 fighter jets and became the oldest indian to do so. i attribute all my success to you : under your tutelage i learnt the art of managing business, living life unostentatiously and conducting business ethically. i know you must be concerned about the next chairman, rest assure, the person who would succeed will be competent and not necessarily a 'Tata', in light of the fact that Tata is not a family run business.
I will continue to write regularly to you as has been my practice since you left on a new adventure. You are missed very much by all of us at home and in india.
avjo,
Ratan
