Tatas and the Indian Independence Movement

The Tata Group, founded in 1868, is one of India's oldest and most respected industrial conglomerates, contributing significantly to the country's economic development. During the Indian independence movement (1915-1947), Indian leaders sought freedom from British rule, advocating for self-governance and economic independence. Tatas supported this movement by promoting Indian industries, employing locals, and funding social causes. While the Tatas primarily focused on business and industrial growth, their efforts helped strengthen India’s economy and foster national pride, aligning with the broader goal of independence and self-reliance.
