RENOWNED INDUSTRIALIST RATAN TATA, WHO PASSED AWAY IN OCTOBER 2024, ENSURED THAT HIS LONGTIME HOME AND OFFICE STAFF WERE WELL TAKEN CARE OF IN HIS WILL.(PHOTO).


Renowned industrialist Ratan Tata, who passed away in October 2024, ensured that his longtime home and office staff were well taken care of in his will. 

According to The Times of India, Tata left over ₹3 crore for his domestic servants and employees, distributing ₹15 lakh to each staff member who had served him for at least seven years. The amount was to be given proportionate to their years of service.


The bulk of Tata’s ₹3,800-crore estate has been bequeathed to the Ratan Tata Endowment Foundation and the Ratan Tata Endowment Trust. However, some of his closest employees received special mentions. His longtime cook, Rajan Shaw, received over ₹1 crore, including a ₹51 lakh loan waiver. His butler, Subbaiah Konar, was left ₹66 lakh, including a ₹36 lakh loan waiver, while his secretary, Delnaz Gilder, was given ₹10 lakh. Additionally, his executive assistant, Shantanu Naidu, had his ₹1 crore education loan for Cornell University waived.


Ratan Tata also instructed that his clothes—including high-end brands like Brooks Brothers, Hermes, Polo, Daks, and Brioni—be donated to NGOs to benefit the underprivileged. He further forgave multiple personal loans, including ₹18 lakh for his driver, Raju Leon, and an undisclosed amount to a neighbor. His will, dated February 23, 2022, stated that these loans should not be recovered and should instead be considered gifts.


Tata’s love for animals was also reflected in his will, as he made special provisions for his German Shepherd, Tito. The industrialist set aside ₹12 lakh for Tito’s care, with ₹30,000 to be disbursed every quarter. The pet will remain under the care of cook Rajan Shaw, ensuring that even in his absence, Tata’s beloved dog continues to receive the best care.
