Ratan Tata will: Veteran industrialist Ratan Tata, who passed away earlier this month, left his legacy and assets to his family, staff, and pet dog.

His mentee, Shantanu Naidu, finds a mention in his 10,000 crore will.

Reportedly, Ratan Tata has given up his ownership in Goodfellows, Naidu’s venture started in 2021, that aims to provide aid to elderly individuals living alone in India.

Ratan Tata also waived off Naidu’s education loan in his will.

Shantanu Naidu finished his engineering degree from Savitribai Phule Pune University in 2014. In 2016, he completed his MBA from Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management.

Naidu met Tata through a letter he wrote to the industrialist on his father’s advice. In it, Naidu informed Tata about his project to protect stray dogs from traffic accidents. Tata replied to his letter in two months.

Naidu worked as an automobile design engineer at Tata Elxsi, where he launched a project called Motopaws, which aims to protect stray dogs from traffic accidents. The project manufactures reflective collars for stray dogs.
