If a person from Tamilnadu or Bengal or Kerala is made head, he will try his best to pull up, install their own respective language people in key posts. This is my observation in any field, organization.

如果任命的是一个来自泰米尔纳德邦、孟加拉邦或喀拉拉邦的人，他会尽最大努力把说自己母语的人安排在关键职位上。这是我在各领域，各组织中观察到的。

TATA’S brand image is as strong as TATA STEEL , as SOFT as its software and as clean as TATA SALT.

塔塔的品牌形象跟塔塔钢铁一样强大，像塔塔盐业一样干净。

Whatever said and done, TATA organisations are by and large society oriented ones. They are not much business minded ones. After having worked in one TATA company for a very long period, I have observed that management will never dismiss or suspend an employee however bad or worse he/she may be. Employee will not be held responsible hor his/her poor work, instead his/her boss is made responsible. That is why one feels proud to work, in general, in any TATA organisation. My hats off to ...

总的来说，塔塔组织都是以社会为导向的。他们不是很有商业头脑的人。在塔塔公司工作了很长一段时间后，我发现管理层决不会解雇或停职一个员工，无论他/她的表现多么糟糕，员工不用负责，而是让老板负责。这就是为什么人们在塔塔集团的任何机构工作都会感到自豪，致敬！

塔塔值得信任。无论谁成为CEO，请忠于这个全球最有名的公司。我们爱这家公司。他们为这个国家服务，为这个国家做贡献。塔塔是这个国家的经济支柱之一。

Tata the ethical company.

塔塔是一家有道德的公司。

Godfather Senior

Whomsoever will comes to the top, will surely try to retain the brand name and its cherished values of business ethics. TATA's brands already established a household brand name in many segments, that will surely be guided by the parent body TATA TRUSTS that controls the majority of shareholding.

无论谁当CEO，肯定会努力维护塔塔的名声及其所珍视的商业道德价值。塔塔已经在许多领域建立了一个家喻户晓的品牌，这肯定受到控股多数股权的母公司塔塔信托的指导。

I worked 30 years in TATAs.

There are 2 Fundamental Rules there :

Rule No.1 : "Mr. Tata is great & is always right"

Rule No.2 : " If & when Mr Tata goes wrong, Rule No.1 applies"

我在塔塔公司工作了30年。

这里有2个基本规则:

1:“塔塔先生很棒，总是对的。”

2:“如果塔塔先生出了错，请参考第一条”

The Tatas are big in social service too

They are a responsible and benevolent conglomerate.But the minister Piyush Goyal had the cheek to criticize & threaten them in chambers meeting to please the electoral bond donors.

塔塔在社会服务领域也做得很好。他们是一个负责任的，仁慈的企业集团。但部长皮尤什·戈亚尔竟然在议院会议上批评并威胁他们，以取悦选举债券捐赠者。

At least TATA is creating employment and develo nations interest. Feku ruined GDP and selling national asset's to its Gujju girlfriends.

至少塔塔创造了就业机会，为国家带来利益。莫迪让印度的GDP数据难看，把国家资产卖给他的古吉拉特友人。

Cyrus P Mistry was perfect candidate as he was astute and foresighted . However he didn't get his priority right that of Tata shareholders come above all .

塞勒斯·密斯特里是最佳人选，他既精明又有远见。然而，他没有优先权，塔塔的股东优先。

TATAs image is carefully built over the years by kee the English language media, influencers and politicians in good humour. The official records show yearly donation of 450 crores to BJP. Cash given must be more.

多年来，塔塔通过维持与英语媒体、有影响力的人士和政客的关系，精心打造了自己的形象。官方记录显示每年向人民党捐赠45亿卢比。给的现金肯定更多。
