Summary: JRD Tata, Tata Steel's legendary former Chairman, was a visionary much ahead of his time. His unique leadership style, values, business ethics and enduring legacy have made him one of India’s most enterprising business leaders. These aspects of his personality are reflected in the letters that JRD Tata wrote to shareholders as Chairman. Apart from providing a candid commentary on issues that were relevant for Tata Steel as well as the Indian economy, these letters hold special value given that they were written at a time when most companies did not speak directly to their shareholders. This book compiles his engaging communication with shareholders over a period of 25 years from 1960 to 1984. The book unveils hallmarks of his selflessness and humility and makes for inspirational reading.
