In one high-powered meeting with top officials and advisors of the group (where the writer was present), a silent observer in the room was stretched out, legs in the air on his doggy bed next to the boardroom table. At some point, the black dog woke up and stretched.

The future of the Tata group would wait for five minutes.

Once he made up his mind after due consideration, it was nigh impossible to change it.
Circa 2008, Singur, West Bengal. Under pressure from Mamata Banerjee, he took an overnight decision to move the Nano factory at significant risk to Sanand, Gujarat. âYou can put a gun to my head. Then you can either shoot the gun or pull it away because I will not move my head, "Tata said then. He personally oversaw a monumental effort from the Tata Motors team, which in the best tradition of thrillers, saw them dismantling entire automotive production lines and equipment and moving out of the factory in the dead of night. That was the start of his long relationship with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was then the Gujarat CM. While the Nano did not set the market alight commercially, the design innovations and manufacturing benchmarks it showcased inspired not only Tata Motors but also the entire Indian auto industry.
