Tata Steels

In the early 1900s, when the Tatas were laying the foundations for a nascent Steel Industry in India, a sceptic British bureaucrat Sir Frederick Upcott, then Chairman, Railway Board of India said: “Do you mean to say that the Tatas propose to make steel rails up to British specification? Why, I will undertake to eat every pound of rail they succeed in making…”

The then Chairman of Tata Sons, Sir Dorabji Tata retorted: “If Sir Upcott were to carry out his undertaking, he would be left with quite a bit of indigestion…”
