Jamsetji Tata founded a private trading firm in 1868, which is the starting point of the global conglomerate. Jamsetji Tata is a pioneer in the Indian industry and is known as the 'Father of Indian industry'. Tata iron and steel factory was set up by him and it is by far the oldest factory in India.

Ratan Tata is the great-grandson of the Jamsetji Tata. On the other hand, JRD Tata and Ratan Tata belong to different branches of the business family. JRD Tata looked after the Tata group for more than fifty years and then passed on to Ratan Tata.
