In Memoriam: Starbucks Statement on Ratan Tata's Passing
The Starbucks family is deeply saddened by the passing of Ratan Tata, a visionary leader and a true icon of Indian business. His legacy of innovation, social responsibility, and unwavering commitment to excellence continues to inspire us all.
Tata's influence on the Indian landscape, particularly in the business world, was profound. He transformed Tata Group into a global powerhouse, known for its diverse businesses and unwavering commitment to ethical practices. This vision resonated deeply with Starbucks' own values of community, social responsibility, and a commitment to ethical sourcing.
Starbucks had the privilege of working alongside the Tata Group in India, building a strong partnership based on shared values and a commitment to creating a positive impact. This collaboration, reflected in Starbucks' successful presence across India, is a testament to Tata's vision and the values that guided him.
His passing is a great loss to India and the world, but his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come. Starbucks joins with the Tata family and the nation in mourning this incredible loss. We are grateful for his leadership, his vision, and the profound impact he made on the world.
