  • Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata (J. R. D. Tata) (29 July 1904 - 29 November 1993) was an Indian industrialist and a key figure in the Tata Group, one of India's largest and oldest conglomerates. Under his leadership, the Tata Group diversified and expanded into various industries, including steel, aviation, and hospitality. J. R. D. Tata was also the founder of Air India and played a pivotal role in the development of Indian aviation. He received several honors for his contributions, including the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, in 1992.
    Rajiv Mehrotra has been a pioneering Television anchor & reporter in India. Over several decades from the early1970s into the 2000’s, he was host to various programmes on India’s public service television channel - Doordarshan.

Many of them are now available online.
    His documentary films won more than three hundred global awards, including thirty-three since 1986 from five Indian Presidents. His books have been published globally in 50+ languages and editions. He was elected a Judge of the Templeton Prize for Scientific & Spiritual Curiosity and a Global Leader for Tomorrow by the World Economic Forum at Davos.

    JRD is the absolute proof of Self Actualisation in Maslow's hierarchy of needs! I have met JRD twice both times very briefly when I worked for large electrical company in India and we helped in the lighting of JRD's office and in lighting of a fountain in Horniman Circle in Mumbai which the Tatas had adopted and transformed from an eye sore to a beautiful garden. In both instance he was gentle, very soft spoken and terribly interested in my career aspirations etc. and extremely complimentary to the "work" we were rendering for the Tata Group! An awesome personality!!

    JRD was so well ahead of his times! He had so many nice suggestions which government of the day did not implement. As a result of that we have not made much progress in area of human development!

    Thank you Mr. Mehrotra for uploading this video of my idol, Mr. JRD Tata. I was born 3 years after his death. So, I had never heard his voice. This is probably the only video of JRD Tata on CZcams where one can actually see him speak.

    I am Surprised to hear man like him can be fired. Well People take century to worth the right man. I am proud to be part of the Tata Group and learnt and entity has nourished me professionally and in a personal way. Group that made humanune rules of 8 hours working for labor and first understood their pain since inception. JRD start from almost NIL as mentioned his father dies in debt and building such a Empire is really requires a vision and hard work/passion and lot of sacrifice. I also smell that indian history is made around Gandhi's and real patriots were not given a fair chance of command. well, its a wonderful experience hearing and watching Mr. Tata. God Bless Tatas and India.

    Very nice upload. Mr. Rajiv, thanks for posting. Today's journalists, specially Indian journalists from Aaj Tak, NDTV, etc must learn from this interviewer. How calmly he is giving a chance to Honorable Tata to speak instead of catching him in traps of words. Thanks again.

    The interviewee has very subtle and indeed relax approach which extracts more info from simple questions.
    I wonder in which a year this interview recorded? JRD Tata was THE one of KEY player of modern days India and shaping its profound future progress. Astonishing that Morarji Desai was responsible for his removal of Air India Chairman the man who lay the foundation. Desai himself had very repugnant and repulsive personality with very low human interaction within his own party which led many mishaps during his short premiership.

    Rajiv, thanks a ton for uploading this interview. It is always pleasure to listen to great visionaries and JRD was the most respected individual & industrialist of its time. Thanks again!! On the other hand, it saddened me more to listen to insanity of our Great(Not So Great!!), politicians. Disappointing to learn that views of visionary like JRD were ignored by Jawaharlal Nehru & Indira Gandhi. Shame on Indian polity, the kind of low life they have. Instead of working for development of the country they fight for their own personal agendas. People like JRD Tata & Rattan Tata could have & can do so much for the country, just our great politicians don't allow that to happen. Shame ... real Shame!!

    This is the most modest interview I have ever seen in Indian Television Industry as far as my awareness concerned. This is almost like listening to BBC Radio while in UK.
    But when did this interview actually happened??

  • @paragbhabal1
    @paragbhabal1 Před 8 lety +29

    Thank you sir for sharing this video. Its a pity there aren't many of the great man.
    for me , just as many other , Mr JRD Tata is , was and shall always remain a hero and an inspire generations of this land.His life is worth following and the book, beyond the last blue mountain is a must for anyone who has dreams and ambitions to achieve something in life.
    I could not see him personally as i was very small when he passed away, but had the chance to visit his grave in Le Pere Lachaise , where is is resting with the soldiers of the French army.
    I am bereft of words to thank you for this clip.This is a gem.
