“I am convinced that of all the big problems that face India today, nothing is more important than the development of scientific research, both pure and applied, and scientific method. This is indeed the basis and foundation of all other work.” -Jawaharlal Nehru
Tata Group is one of India's largest and most esteemed business groups. Tata Group's name is synonymous with India's industrialisation.
