In a move that has stunned many, Indian billionaire and iconic business leader Ratan Tata, who recently passed away at 86, has left £91 million to his beloved dog, Tito.
The Tata Group patriarch, celebrated for transforming the company into a global powerhouse, prioritised his German shepherd’s well-being in his will, with provisions for “unlimited care.”
While many expected his estate to pass primarily to his siblings, Jimmy Tata and half-sisters Shireen and Deanna Jejeebhoy, Tata’s affection for Tito took precedence. According to *The Times*, he also ensured a comfortable future for his devoted butler, Konar Subbiah, and his cook, Rajan Shaw, both tasked with Tito’s care. His siblings, meanwhile, will receive a smaller portion of the inheritance.
Suhel Seth, a close friend of Tata, highlighted that the provisions for Tata’s aides reflect his profound gratitude for the joy and care they brought to his life, rather than a mere gesture of wealth.
Under Tata’s visionary leadership, the Tata Group executed major international acquisitions, notably purchasing British tea giant Tetley in 2000 for $432 million and Anglo-Dutch steelmaker Corus in 2007 for $13 billion.
These moves marked milestones in Indian corporate history, setting the standard for global expansion.
