Little did I know, this book would not only offer insights into the Tata Group's journey but also inspire a deep appreciation for values like integrity, innovation, and resilience.

Bhat illustrates how these values guided Tata companies through periods of uncertainty and change, ensuring they remained steadfast in their commitment to excellence and ethical practices.
