Ratan Tata, the chairman emeritus of Tata Sons died on Wednesday (October 9) due to age-related issues. The industrialist served as the Tata Group conglomerate's chairperson twice, from 1991 to 2012 and again from 2016 to 2017. He continued to lead the company's charity trusts even though he stepped back from the organisation's day-to-day operations. As the news of his demise broke out, tributes started pouring in from all quarters. The popular dairy brand Amul also paid homage to the icon. Known for their event-appropriate topicals, Amul paid tribute to Ratan Tata by posting a special illustration of the business tycoon on their Instagram handle.
