Purpose
At the Tata Group our purpose is to improve the quality of life of the communities

The Tata name is a unique asset representing leadership with trust. Leveraging
this asset to enhance Group synergy and becoming globally competitive is the
route to sustained growth and long-term success.
The Tata Group has some of India's most famous personalities from the sports
and entertainment fields endorsing its products and services, and the Tata brand.
Narain Karthikeyan: The 'fastest Indian in the world' has been a brand
ambassador for the Tata Group since 2002. The Group was instrumental in
helping Karthikeyan break into the charmed Formula One racing circle in 2005.
More on Karthikeyan
Sourav Ganguly and Irfan Pathan: The old warhorse and the young tearaway
have been supporting the Tata Indicom brand. Ganguly has also been associated
with Tata Steel.
Sania Mirza: The new kid on the tennis block has been making waves in the
women's game with her power and ebullience. Mirza, who broke into the ATP top
100 in 2005, is a brand ambassador for Tata Tea.
Yuvraj Singh: This rising cricket star, among the most prominent of the young
brigade that has been transforming the way India plays the game, is a prominent

TATA TITANS
There is a difference between making money for oneself and creating wealth for
others. This is the story of a business house that has created wealth for a nation.
It is a story of struggle, anxiety, adventure and achievement. This is the story of
our pioneers.
Jamsetji Tata: The founder of the Tata Group began with a textile mill in central
India in the 1870s. His powerful vision inspired the steel and power industries in
the country, set the foundation for technical education, and helped India leapfrog
from backwardness to the ranks of industrialised nations.
Sir Dorab Tata: Through his endeavours in setting up Tata Steel and Tata Power,
this elder son of Jamsetji Tata was instrumental in transforming his father's grand
vision into reality. It was also under his leadership that the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust,
the premier charitable endowment of the Tatas, was created, propelling the Tata
tradition of philanthropy.
Sir Ratan Tata: Jamsetji Tata's younger son had a personality that reflected his
sensitivity to the struggles of ordinary people and his desire to utilise his
considerable wealth to enhance the quality of public life. A philanthropist all his
life, he created a trust fund for "the advancement of learning and for the relief of
human suffering and other works of public utility". The Sir Ratan Tata Trust is today
the second largest of the Tata trusts.
JRD Tata: The late chairman of the Tata Group pioneered civil aviation on the
subcontinent in 1932 by launching the airline now known as Air India. That was
the first of many path-breaking achievements that JRD, who guided the destiny
of the Group for more than half a century, came to be remembered for.

TATA is a well renowned company for its quality but still the company needs to
work upon its prices. In Indian market it has to compete with brands with other
companies, as they offer the product at lower price. It must make the customer
aware of the increased quality and safety of the product they are providing. It can
come with anew product line for economy class. Without compromising on looks
Tata is said to be the top most manufacturing company. Net sales and revenue of
Tata has increased from last two years. Tata has never been so much involved in
marketing of its products as compared to its competitors.
