Tata, 86, died in a Mumbai hospital on Wednesday (October 9, 2024) night. With his demise, India has lost an invaluable gem, Mr. Bhagwat said.

Ratan Tata's contribution to India's development journey will remain memorable, the RSS chief said.

"He established many excellent standards in important sectors of the industry along with new and effective initiatives. His continuous cooperation and participation remained in all types of works in the interest of the society," he said.

"Be it the issue of national unity and security or any aspect of development or the welfare of working employees, Ratan ji remained inspirational with his unique thinking and work," Mr. Bhagwat said.

"We offer our humble and heartfelt tribute to him and pray that God grants peace to the departed soul," he added.

Ratan Tata met Mr. Bhagwat at the RSS headquarters in Maharashtra's Nagpur on April 18, 2019. It was the industrialist's second visit to the Sangh headquarters.

Prior to that, Tata first visited the RSS headquarters on December 28, 2016, his 79th birthday, while he was locked in a bitter boardroom battle with ousted Tata Group chairman Cyrus Mistry.
