For me, Sir Ratan Tata has always been more than just a business personality. His vision extended well beyond the realm of profit, focusing instead on fostering industries that are in tune with societal welfare. It's this inherent nature of his that resonates with me, filling me with a feeling of personal loss that's indescribable.

On October 9th, a day that would ideally be an ordinary one, we intend to honor Sir Ratan Tata, whose commendable contribution to society and the nation should serve as a beacon of inspiration for future generations. Declaring this day as the National Remembrance Day for Sir Ratan Tata would serve as an annual reminder to uphold his ideals and to recognize his life’s unprecedented work that continues to guide India.

Through his life, Sir Ratan Tata not only established highly successful and renowned industries, but he also instilled a keen sense of ethical practices in them. He is largely recognized for his philanthropic efforts, notably through the Tata Trusts which hold a two-thirds stake in the Tata Group, India's largest conglomerate. A lion's share of the profits from this group goes towards the upliftment of society in various sectors including health, education, and rural development (source: Tata Trusts Official).

In a world where the narrative is too often about bottom lines and market shares, his legacy insists on the importance of societal well-being in business. This National Remembrance Day would serve as an emblem of his principles, inspiring and urging us all to contribute positively to society and our great nation.

Sign this petition to uphold the remembrance of a great man, to inspire and impact countless future generations. Let's ensure that Sir Ratan Tata's ideals guide India for years to come.
