His legacy of business excellence, unwavering ethics, and commitment to social good will continue to inspire generations, especially the youth of an aspirational and enterprising India.”
BRS working president K T. Rama Rao termed him as a true innovator, a wonderful human, an inspiration to many, and a humble legend. In a post on ‘X’ he said “Shri Ratan Tata’s passing leaves a void in the world of business, philanthropy, and humanity. Every time we look at THub, we will remember you, sir.

BRS chief and former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao also mourned the death of Ratan Tata describing him as a rare industrialist whose philanthropy and visionary work as a social worker is an example for everyone who aspires for public welfare.
Mr. KCR said that Ratan Tata was a rare industrialist who believed in the socio-economic philosophy that the fruits of development should reach the bottom level.
