The China's BYD Mobility

Futuristic smart city with BYD Seal electric car, autonomous vehicles, flying taxis, and neon-lit eco-friendly skyscrapers

Futuristic Smart with BYD Electric Vehicles

There's competitors now ramping up and as you're familiar with BYD which is also on the west coast I think they're ramping up production of their electric vehicles. Warren Buffett owns 10% stake in that. Why do you laugh? Trying to compete why do you laugh? Have you seen that car? You know BYD was once a joke, a complete laughing stock in the industry.

This plain looking sedan is actually one of them. It's from Chinese automaker BYD. Bad looking car, it further looks like a Corolla or maybe a Kia Optima. Vehicles that are ready, that are up to snuff in terms of quality, fit and finish, design, that remains to be seen yet. You don't see them at all as a competitor? No.

I don't think they have a great product. In fact, if you look closely, while Tesla had Elon Musk, the visionary, charismatic billionaire founder, BYD was led by a humble man, a former government employee with no degree in automobile and no background in technology or design. In fact, he had never built a tech product in his life.

And look at this, in 2021, while Tesla sold 930,000 cars, making $53 billion in revenue, BYD barely sold 590,000 cars, making only $32.75 billion. So $32 billion is a lot, but it was nothing as compared to Tesla and the reputation of Tesla. But you know what's crazy? Warren Buffett saw something different in BYD.

He believed that BYD could make better cars than Tesla. BYD is a young and promising company experiencing dynamic growth. A leader in innovation and technology. Our joint strength is based on high-tech cooperation and BYD has a bright future. And as always, the wise old man was right. Because in 2024, while Tesla made $97 billion, BYD stood tall at $108 billion and BYD told the world loud and clear that there's a new gangster in town.

It likes to describe itself as the biggest car brand you've never heard of. you've never heard of. Now China's BYD has overtaken Tesla as the world's largest seller of electric vehicles. Now it's beating Tesla with EVs only. Let us help you build your dreams. BYD. And this is a classic David versus Goliath story.

BYD And this is a classic David vs Goliath story. So the question is, how did a government researcher outsmart the world's most celebrated innovator? How did a company that was once mocked become the new king of EVs in the world? What secret formula transformed BYD into Tesla's worst nightmare? And most importantly, what are the business lessons that we need to learn from the iconic rise of BYD? This context is brought to you by the magical Odoo manufacturing app.

People, if you're in the manufacturing business, you know how crucial it is to streamline operations and maintain top-notch quality. And Odoo's manufacturing app is a magical tool that can simplify and streamline your entire process to make it faster, easier and more efficient. Firstly, Odoo's manufacturing app triggers automatic quality checks and also provides you with the shop floor where each operator can sign in and see exactly what they need to do.

This helps you manage who's doing what, keeps the work hierarchy clear and allows you to run multiple assembly lines smoothly. By leveraging work centers and automated assembly lines, Odoo enables you to optimize and manage manufacturing orders effortlessly. This improves accuracy, productivity, and overall workflow efficiency.

Odoo also has barcode integration, which helps you speed up operations, track products easily, and manage everything in real-time. The planning and scheduling feature helps you organize work orders, track materials, and plan production efficiently. All of this happens through Gantt view. This view shows you all the assembly timelines and operation dependencies.

And the best part is they provide lifetime free access for your first Odoo application. So if you're running a manufacturing business and you're serious about scaling with precision, efficiency and clarity, check out Odoo manufacturing app using the link in the description. This is a story that dates back to 1995. At that time, the global battery market was a game only meant for kings to play.

If you wanted to enter the market, enter this business, you at least needed $1.7 million. And the industry was ruled by giants, Japanese powerhouses like Sony and Sanyu. Now, most people would have said, Arrey bhai, this is a game for rich people. How can we middle class folks enter this game? Let's do something small and safe and be happy and earn bread for the family.

But you know what Wang did? Wang made an observation. He noticed that the battery market was shifting very very drastically from nickel-cadmium batteries to lithium-ion batteries. And this shift was happening for three major reasons. Firstly, lithium-ion batteries could store more energy. So while a lithium-ion battery could store up to 260 Wh per kg, while nickel-cadmium batteries are limited to around 50 Wh per kg.

This means for every kilogram of battery mass, a lithium-ion battery stores at least five times more energy. That is why devices like smartphone started to use lithium-ion batteries so that they could be lightweight and yet super powerful. Secondly, nickel-cadmium batteries lose capacity over time if you recharge them before they are fully emptied.

But lithium ion batteries, they could be charged anytime with no damage at all. And thirdly, cadmium, which is found in the nickel cadmium batteries, it is a toxic heavy metal which pollutes soil, water and harms workers. Whereas if you look at lithium ion, it is cleaner and far safer for the planet.

Now you tell me guys, if you were to pour all the money that you have, where would you invest your money? Obviously in lithium-ion, right? After all, it was clearly the future. But you know what Wang did? He did the complete opposite. He invested all his money into building a nickel-cadmium factory. So the question is, why would he do that? Well, that was because while Sony and Samio moved to lithium ion batteries, large companies like IBM still needed nickel cadmium batteries. So Wang saw a hidden opportunity.

He thought that he could actually serve clients that the large companies were ignoring. So he took a big loan from his cousin and invested all that money into building a factory to make nickel-cadmium batteries. But here's the twist. While Japanese factories used cutting-edge tech, Wang actually went the complete opposite way.

He said bro, Japanese have technology but China has cheap labor. In fact, if you look at the stat in 1995, labor cost in Japan, the monthly minimum wage was about $189.28. While in China, it was only $24.38. So instead of expensive machines, Wang built simple systems that used workers' hands, but it was actually made by people with machines and not robots.

And this ultra-frugal method became BYD's first superpower. And amongst all the frugal engineering strategies that Wang applied, I found one story that will blow your mind. In fact, it changed the destiny of BYD. You see, to make nickel cadmium batteries, you needed absolutely dust proof rooms because cadmium is a highly toxic and reactive heavy metal.

So even a tiny particle of dust, moisture or oil can contaminate the electrodes, it could cause poor performance and it could even defect the material. In fact, in some cases, it could even cause the battery to catch fire. In fact, workers must also wear full body suits with masks, gloves and hair covers so that even tiny skin flakes or breath moisture doesn't contact the battery.

So to protect both the product and the workers, the manufacturing usually happened in super clean dust proof rooms, also called clean rooms. On top of that, while normal air has around 35 million dust particles per cubic meter, a nickel-cadmium battery clean room might just allow 3520 particles per cubic meter.

That's over 99.99% cleaner air than usual. But you know what Wang did? He asked himself, Baba, if you don't want your legs to get dirty while walking, will you lay a carpet all around the world or simply choose to wear shoes? Obviously wear shoes, right? Then he thought, why do we keep the entire factory clean when only the battery cell needs a clean environment? So instead of building a huge clean room around the workers, he built a small transparent clean box.

And here's where workers could put their hands inside and make the battery. So each worker had a sealed glove box like a mini clean room. And workers could insert their hands through the gloves assemble the battery parts and keep it within the enclosed box itself. This way, they could keep the dust out of the battery completely.

At the same time, they did need clean rooms. In fact, the air inside was filtered and pressurized as per the clean room requirements. This is the reason why they could have a general room where the battery was being manufactured. And this gave Wang three incredible superpowers. Firstly, only the actual battery cell assembly zone needed protection, not the whole building.

This saved them millions of dollars. So only the box was manufactured in a small clean room, but the manufacturing facility didn't need any high-tech cleaning. Secondly, the cost of making the battery due to this box and several other strategies helped him reduce cost by 70-80%. That's about 5-6 times lesser than the competition.

And lastly, if Sony needed to scale their production, they needed to build another clean room with hundreds of crores in investment. But if BYD wanted to scale, they just needed to add more boxes and workers. That's it. In fact, Wang even decided to skip over high-tech machines and build simple machines like the glove box because the Chinese labor was cheaper than the machine.

Like I said, in 1995, the monthly minimum wage was about $189.28 while in China, it was only $24.38 This is how through ultra low cost production easily scalable model and a huge cost benefit in the market BYD started scaling This is how BYD won giant clients like Nokia and Motorola and by 2002 BYD had a 31% market share That is how they made their money Now if you were a government employee turned entrepreneur who's making millions of dollars selling batteries, you would be happy, right? Well, Wang wasn't.

While most people saw this business as a rock solid million dollar company, Wang realized that he actually built a castle of sand that won't sustain long. Because he knew that he was making nickel cadmium batteries and the world was soon going to move to lithium-ion batteries. So you know what Wang did? He said, we will build a car.

And they did build a car. But the problem was that it was a terrible car. And you know what, guys? They built these kinds of cars for 10 long years. And during the same time, Tesla rolled out great products, revolutionized the entire American EV market and came to China and became a billion dollar company.

But BYD? Well, they were a joke for the press. Some journalists joked about how the front of the BYD car looked like a Toyota Corolla and the back looked like a Chevrolet Optra. Others were filming the doors of the cars not shutting correctly. So long story short, BYD had no edge in technology, no edge in design and they had nothing special.

Their low-end models got old and their newer models failed to take off. Even their early electric buses in the US faced reports of poor performance, mechanical problems and terrible driving ranges. And just when things couldn't get any worse, the pandemic hit in 2020. Now when the pandemic hit, supply chains halted, people stopped buying cars and BYD had over 224,000 employees that they couldn't afford to pay if sales didn't come.

And look at this, Ford, Tata Motors, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, all of them were in losses. But I was surprised to know that BYD in 2020 still made $643 million in profits. The question is, how the hell is that even possible? Well, you know what guys, I read something on cockroach entrepreneurs. It says that when everyone else is running for cover, the cockroach entrepreneur finds a crack and keeps moving.

That's exactly what Wang did. He became a cockroach. During COVID, when cars couldn't be sold, Wang saw that they could easily manufacture masks and sell hand disinfectants. So he quickly repurposed their factories and became the world's largest mask producer of face masks. Not cars, but face masks. On January 31st, Wang Qianfu, President and Chairman of BYD, decided that the company must begin making masks within two weeks.

These masks have been shipped to hospitals, law enforcement agencies, local governments and many more. That is how they made 643 million dollars in profits even in 2020. This is how Wang survived the COVID wave while the world was making fun of BYD. But this still begs the question, how did they beat Tesla? Tesla was miles ahead of BYD, right? Well, as it turns out, Wang understood that to succeed in the EV market, he just needed to master three things.

Cost, R&D and design. For example, Tesla had dramatically cut its cost per vehicle. Look at this. In 2017, it cost about $84,000 to build a Tesla. But in 2022, data showed that Tesla's input cost averaged just $36,000 per vehicle. That was about $10,000 less than the other average EV vehicles. And lastly, Wang realized that BYD cars needed to look better than Tesla and they could no longer be a cheap copy of American cars.

So after pouring all the profits from the battery unit into research and development, in 2020 BYD shocked Tesla with something called Blade Battery. For those who don't know, in 2020, Tesla Model 3 used NMC batteries or Nickel Manganese Cobalt batteries. And if you remember, these batteries had a big, big problem.

Tesla is investigating this fiery explosion in Shanghai. It appears to show a Model S bursting into flames in a parking lot. The fire spread to the home and burned it down. Fire spread to the home and burned it down. As you saw, if the cars with NMC batteries were severely damaged or exposed to extreme heat, they could catch fire or even explode.

In fact, normal lithium-ion batteries burst into flames at over 500 degrees Celsius. But BYD's Blade battery uses lithium-ion phosphate chemistry and it passed a brutal test called the Nail Penetration Test. As you can see, engineers literally drove a nail through the battery until it penetrates completely causing a short circuit inside.

And the other batteries caught fire at over 500 degrees Celsius. But surprisingly, BYD Blade gave out no smoke and no fire. In fact, it would barely touch temperatures of 30 to 60 degrees Celsius. Do you realize what that means? While a passenger in normal EV cars would burn to death in case of high impact accidents, with blade battery, the car wouldn't catch fire at all.

In fact, BYD batteries became so good that in 2024, Tesla started to buy batteries from BYD. Tesla has admitted that BYD batteries are superior and will use them to power Tesla vehicles. The Chinese company is about to start supplying Tesla with its own battery cells. BYD's unit, Fendream, secured over 20% of orders in March and supplies will begin in the first quarter of next year.

Secondly, BYD did an excellent job with cost-cutting. Look at this. While BYD SEAL cost $15,270 in China, Tesla Model 3, the counterpart of BYD SEAL, cost $36,278.99 in China. And even in the US, while BYD SEAL cost $46,990 with trade tariffs, Tesla without tariffs still cost $36,990. $36,990. Secondly, while Tesla's prices start from $36,270 per vehicle in China, BYD starts at $7,800 in China.

So the question we hear is how did BYD achieve this? Well, firstly, since BYD was a Chinese company made in China, sold in China and had local battery production unit, BYD enjoyed an approximate $2,000 to $4,000 subsidy per car. Secondly, BYD enjoyed an approximate $2000-$4000 subsidy per car. Secondly, BYD achieved full vertical integration where they do everything from mining to manufacturing to design to battery manufacturing to even recycling in-house.

This saved them another 15% in cost as compared to Tesla Model 3 and 30% lower than the western companies. Thirdly, if you think about pure electric vehicles, you will see that people are usually concerned about two things, price and range. But you know what BYD did? BYD, instead of making EVs, they made PHEVs.

For those who don't know, BEV means a fully electric vehicle that needs a battery to run. And PHEV is a hybrid vehicle where if your EV charging runs out, you can use your gas engine until the next charge. And by the way, PHEV stands for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. And this is where the magic happened.

You see, manufacturing a hybrid vehicle over a fully EV car had three major advantages. Firstly, the battery is usually the biggest cost driver and costs about 40% of the total cost of manufacturing. But in PHEV cars, you needed a smaller battery. So they cost around 20 to 30% less. Secondly, BYD could eliminate range anxiety in the Chinese because with hybrid, you can give people the cost advantage of an EV but the dependability advantage of an IC engine car.

So in tier 2, tier 3 China, where people don't find charging station, they were fine using a hybrid BYD car, but they couldn't use a Tesla. Thirdly, if you look at the Chinese population, China has four major categories. China one has 23 million people who make more than $18,000 per portion per year. China two has 242 million people who make between $7,300 to $18,000 per portion per year china 2 has 242 million people who make between 7 300 to 18 000 dollars per portion per year china 3 has 493 million people who make 3650 dollars to 7 300

per portion per year and china 4 the poorest population of 645 million people make around 3650 dollars or less per year now while tesla could only sell to 23 million people make around $3650 or less per year. Now while Tesla could only sell to 23 million people in China 1 and barely sell its Model 3 base model to China 2, BYD could sell its cars to China 1, China 2 and it could also sell its base models to China 3.

BYD could practically sell to 758 million Chinese people and in tier 2, tier 3 cities with no charging infrastructure. Whereas Tesla, they could barely sell to 265 million Chinese people. Which is why if you look at this chart, out of the top 6 selling BEVs and PHEVs, 5 of them are BYD and just one is Tesla.

And more importantly, the sale of the top 2 PHEVs is more than the sale of the top 3 EVs combined. This is how Wang sold for cost and accessibility using R&D and product portfolio. And if you look at BYD designs today, they look like this. This is how, by first building a cash corp for himself, then by investing that cash into R&D while the world laughed at him, then by consistently working on the attributes that he was mocked for and most importantly, by solving for the Chinese people better than his American counterparts, Wang ended up building one of the greatest companies in Chinese history.

And he literally went from being a laughing stock to a multi-bagger stock in the last 20 years. This is the crazy story of PYD and it has three very very important business lessons for all of us. Lesson number one, before you start chasing glory, always build a cash cow. Before dreaming of cars and global fame, Wang first mastered the unglamorous business of batteries.

That's where he got the money to build a castle of glory because no glory comes without cash flow. Lesson number two, innovation isn't always about sophistication. Sometimes it's just about simplification. And the smartest solution is often the cheapest one that just works. And the clean box that just works.

And the clean box that Wang built is a classic depiction of this lesson. And lastly, always remember when people throw bricks at you, you've got two choices. You can either run and blame the world for being unfair or you can pick up every single brick, dust it off and start building your castle. That's exactly how Wang built his company called Build Your Dreams.

Lenskart Premises Policy Controversy: Dress Code Debate & Religious

workplace dress code controversy

corporate policy controversy India

It has been said that this manual is actually a dress code manual for employees, and it states that it is loud for Muslim women to wear hijab, It is loud for Sikh men to wear turban, But Hindu women should wear bindi. Or it is not loud for Hindu men to wear Kalawa and apply Tilak.

And because of this a huge controversy has arisen on the internet, Bar Bar Piyush Bansal who is the CEO, The lenses were cut and tacked on. And he tried to respond several times But with every response they keep falling into it. So ultimately the question arises that when this controversy is taking place then on what basis is this religious discrimination taking place? Is there any legal provision related to this in India or not? Can this be challenged as per the Constitution or as per any legal provision?

And why again and again these corporates keep getting entangled in the controversies of this sir? If we keep getting trapped in controversy, then today in this video let us know from where it started and how. When this situation turned into a huge controversy, the first tweet that came said in that tweet What was mentioned in that tweet was that Lange Card's dress code policy was reaffirmed as an authentic Polk internal document which got leaked on the internet and it was found out that many Things are allowed only to minority religions but majority Hindu religion

The people of the community who are employees there are not allowed any religious expression. Now see if you look at their manual strictly If we look a little deeper, the things allowed in the manual are the most important. The clear things that are allowed are hijab and the other things that are allowed. If you look at the things that are allowed inside the manual, the most clear thing that is allowed is hijab and the second thing that is allowed is turban, that is, they have told about it to the people of Sikh community, but in this also they have put some restrictions that it can have a black color turban, it can have a black color hijab because it is their brand logo or The brand matches with the color but which is strictly prohibited which is not allowed at all. First Bindi, second Kalava and third Tilak. Not only this, they have imposed restrictions on many other things, many many things, they have been clearly allowed, but they have been restricted a little bit, but they have been restricted, for example, sandur, very small amount, the whole head should not be filled with it, it can be mehendi, but there should be prior approval for this, and ten more. That mahandi should remain the maximum till the day, after that religious threads only one day after the puja.

You can wear them only one day after puja And you can't wear them the rest of the time So this somehow shows that there is a kind of discrimination. Where this is not allowed to people of majority community This is not allowed to people of Hindu community. But the people of Muslim community and the people of Sikh community Those who are minorities are allowed So why does this controversy start? Do these corporates do this deliberately Or these corporates ignore this and make them My name is Mangal Singh, I teach anthropology.

and this is my telegram channel, this is my instagram handle you can subscribe to these I teach anthropology, these are some of the toppers that I have mentored and guided with anthropology and other subjects also I am starting my batch, so join the batch using the code MSCLive to get best of the discounts which if toppers data mentor in guide with antropology and other questions also and starting batch so join the batch using the code to get best of the discounts to join this batch.

You can use this code and avail the best discounts. Now you have already heard it. It must be that there is a controversy going on in Nashik where people were being forcefully converted to Islam. Investigation is going on on this. NAA has also taken cognizance of this and it is being looked at from many angles and due to this, a very heated palace has been built inside Nashik and the whole country is discussing about why this is happening, so after all this lens cart controversy is the reason for this. What is the response to Lenskart on social media? Some people have said that this is the hypocrisy of Lenskart and through this it is not religious discrimination.

And he said that this lens actually shows a hypocrisy of the cart which is completely The Hindu minority strictly bans religious expression, but it Muslims or Sikhs were not allowed to have any religious expression, but they denied that the present guidelines may not be old or may be outdated, then they said that the policy is no restriction on any form of religious expression including bindi and tilak outdated.

Versions do not represent you, theirs is their outdated version, this is our version, they did not say that it is not ours, they denied this to Tripread, they only said that it does not reflect their point of view of today, so when they did this, then the readers gave a context on top of that. Added

it on X i.e. on Twitter He said that the league lens card guide is actively branded and dated February 2, 2026 That means it's only two months old And this actually internally dress code is still being used To implement this reader The controversy deepened due to the context that the Internet sets on your Twitter, then later he again gave a clarification and he told that there is no restriction here and finally he admitted that yes it contained an incorrect line. He said that okay, this is a policy of ours and then he said it contained an incorrect line about Bindi and Tilak as founder and CEO the responsibility for such lapses is mine. He said that it is my responsibility and Only regarding Bindi and Tilak, on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this on this, when I went to the employees of Lenskart and asked them about all their stores, they have not received any such order yet. The basis of which is whether you have to follow this policy or not, that is, this policy is still running somewhere and if you talk about today, they have not published any updated guidelines because they are afraid that maybe it will cause controversy, so now the biggest question that arises is that so much controversy has been created which has become a storm on social media, are there legal provisions on it. Now the biggest problem in the legal provisions is whether the constitution is based on religion. But the constitution prevents discrimination but the problem is that discrimination on the basis of religion is allowed only in public departments.

Or it stops the state run things only and does not intrude into the private sector regarding this. right so can this policy be challenged in the court short answer is barely it is very difficult that We can challenge this policy in the court of law because if you three or four see provisions see legal provisions see industrial provisions that if you see 3-4 provisions, see legal provisions, see industrial provisions, And if we look at the constitutional provisions, So whatever is within the constitutional provisions,

He applies only to the government and not to the to private employers, Whatever the government or government related things apply to them, If you see section 153B of IPC, Which is an outrageous and religious group, So in this, deliberate intent has to be proved again and again, That was the deliberate intention of this company, That he deliberately wanted to hurt the religious sentiment, he has to prove that there was a deliberate intention of the company that he deliberately wanted to hurt the religious sentiment, he will have to prove it and in the name of negligence or ignorance, perhaps they can settle with this thing and the Industrial Disputes Act is already a little old and there is an indirect remedy in it, but that too is a remedy against non-meritorious staff, that is, it is a constitutional fundamental right under Article 14. There are 15, 16 but where does all this apply on the public sector and not on the private sector and when does the private sector belong to the public sector and not on the private sector?

If it survives somewhere, then you see, some people say that why such a mistake happens, then these are the four manwars. There are four policies, each of four people, you must have heard that he is infamous for his work, and one of four, which There is a policy, in these policies it is said that these people copy and paste the user manuals of that country or the user manuals of western countries. It is said that these people copy and paste the user manuals of that country or the user manuals of western countries and they become the policy of this place.

Let's make it and start using the context of western countries if you See if you have copied these policies from UK or America. So generally which suits you or which gives you professional clothes which It is said in India that those clothes are actually European style clothes. That means suit, tie or you need shirt and pant or proper which These are professional dresses, these are actually western styled which their Also aligns with Christian ideas, But the majority community inside India is not Christian,

Which we have assumed is our professional dress, That is actually the professional dress of the Christian community, Which we have related to the majority, And there to accommodate the minority, And to accommodate diversity, These people keep some special provisions, For some communities, So it can either be that the majority of the things Provisions Provisions Provisions Provisions Provisions Provisions Provizion It is being lauved to express, so look at the copy given to them and after passing the copy to them, what they did directly was to tell Hindus this.

Gave that you have to wear professional dress and western style which the Muslim community refused to wear. Now what is the problem with this? On one hand, you have hurt the sentiments of the majority community and in the name of this inclusion, you have applied a kind of dual policy. You said you don't have professionalism If you expressed things Hindu style That Bindi you expressed that you Did you apply bigger vermillion or did you wear tilak? or did you wear kalava So this is against professionalism

But this in the name of diversity and inclusion That means you have used dual policy. which is actually not acceptable in any case, right So the problem is that even if it was deliberate, it is still problematic. Or you did a lazy copy-paste, you just went and copy-pasted the western style policy, And even though you have made this policy, there is still a slightly problematic thing.

And because of this, a lot of problems can occur. Now see what is there in other countries? The legal jurisprudence in other countries has evolved a lot. If you look at the US and the UK, the legal jurisprudence there is very limited in many respects. If you look at the US and the UK, there are a number of laws that govern the private sector on the basis that they do not discriminate. So for example, the title within the US is the Civil Rights Act Ninety Six Four and within that it applies to private employers. and it mandates religious accommodation and reasonable accommodation.

Every day 20 percent workers were absent, took weeks off and were unable to work for long. Jamshed ji came up with an innovative solution for this, he created a provision for the workers, he launched the scheme of provident fund for the workers, which means now the workers were going to get pension after retirement, secondly he got the workers medical insurance done, and finally organized events like family days and sports days, the workers who performed well in these events were also rewarded in front of everyone, due to all these initiatives the workers started feeling very valued, due to which Both their attendance and performance improved significantly. The workers started feeling valued due to the initiative, which improved their attendance and performance.

Both of them improved a lot and many of these schemes were so futuristic that by then they were not adopted all over the world. In his eighties, Jamshed ji saw the growing demand for independence in India.

Because in 1904, at the age of 65, he breathed his last.

Jamshed ji's vision and his dreams were so grand that it was not possible for them to be fulfilled during his lifetime. Therefore, his son Turab ji Tata took the responsibility of fulfilling all his other dreams. Jamshed ji believed that India was far behind western countries in scientific research and education.

Had ever dreamed of a hydro electric plant to generate electricity. Goha in this project Power generation was to be done by using Dudhsagar Falls located on the Maharashtra border. Dorab ji involved 7000 workers and got artificial lakes, dams and channels built. The plant was ready in 1911 and you know this power by the name of Pagar. Finally, Durab ji Tata also took the responsibility of completing the work of the steel plant which was started by Jamshet ji. In 1907, he To establish a limited company and for the steel plant

IPO of Rs 23 crore announced At that time due to the Swadeshi movement Nearly 8000 in just two weeks people invested in it Company Name Tata Steel and Iron Company i.e. TISCO was kept and finally in 1912 By producing the first steel from TISCO It came out only after two years In 1914, World War I started and Britain's steel demand suddenly shot up. They needed steel for tanks, trucks, railways. TISCO's plan worked day and night and fulfilled this demand. After the end of the war, the Viceroy of that time acknowledged the contribution of TISCO and the town where TISCO's plan was located was named after Jamshed ji. up jamshed

Pur and the name of the railway station Tata Nagar was kept as Durab ji's. Tata Group's business in leadership had increased many fold in 1932 Durab ji Tata died And before leaving he told Tata Group Steel, Power, Consumer Products, Businesses like banking and insurance Durab ji Tata had diversified into businesses like banking and insurance. After Dorab ji Tata, a young member of the family, Giordi Tata, became the chairman of Tata Group in 1938.

Giordi Tata had joined the business in 1925 and was learning work in the TISCO plant. He was always very interested in aviation, so in 1932 he started Tata Aviation Services, which became the first airline in India to provide passenger and cargo transport services. Its first flight was flown by JD Tata himself. After which they had to import essential chemicals like India's first ever commercial pilot soda from outside, these were the chemicals which were used in making glass textile.

They were very important for making essential products like soaps and detergents. He wanted these chemicals to be To be produced in India only, that is why in 1939 he set up a chemical plant in Mithapur Town, Gujarat. Built and that's how Tata started Tata Chemicals which today also manufactures Tata Salt.

Chemicals business started doing well But JRD's dream was still to grow the airline business. During World War II the British Government seized all the planes. Due to which Tata Aviation Services closed overnight But as soon as the war ended, JRD decided to enter the airline business again. And this is how Air India started in 1946 Air India crew was known for their warm and attentive services.

The food, cleanliness and in-flight entertainment of their flight were all top class. Even their mascot was a Maharaja Which reflected the Indian hospitality and royal standards of the airline. Air India always operated as per the time schedule. Due to all this not only in India but also internationally Air India was known as one of the best airlines JRD was growing Air India like his own child.

But then something happened which took away this Air India from them in one fell swoop. After Independence, the Indian Government snatched away the Socialist Economic Model. After Independence, the Indian Government snatched away the Socialist Economic Model. Had adopted the one whose country was to be killed.

Important industries like Transportation Government Controls should be in so that these industries Pay more for public service than profit Focus and so in 1953 Nationalize Air India i.e. taken under government control Air India after nationalization A tragic decline has begun service, punctuality and safety negatively impacted due to which ultimately Air India has status of world class airline Lost but Air India's setback Even after GRD Tata No stone was left unturned to grow the group He saw that after independence

Any Indian in any country There is no cosmetics brand, so he saw that even after independence, there is no Indian cosmetics brand in the country, so he started Lakme. Lakme is a French word which means Lakshmi in Hindi. Jayadi deliberately did not give an Indian name to this brand. He knew that Indian women were inferior to foreign brands and considered foreign brands to be of high quality, so by naming Lakme, he took this cosmetics brand to the international level.

Gave aspirational value but in reality the meaning of Laker was still deeply connected to India. Apart from this, GE bought a railway engine manufacturing factory in Jamshetpur and started Tata Locomotive. And Engineering Company Limited, which was later transferred to Tel. Initially Telco used to manufacture steam engines only for railways but JIA soon expanded into truck manufacturing. He launched Tata 407 truck which became quite popular for its slim and strong design and captured 70% market share by beating the international brands. Today we all know this Telco company which manufactures engines and trucks as Tata. know by the name of motors

Apart from business, Giardi Tata helped India in its most difficult times. During the Indo-China War of 1962 and Indo-Pak War of 1965, he assured all kinds of support to the government. He sent Tata engineers to Delhi to provide military aircraft to the country. He used his Air India experience and designed the Indian Air Force.

 year defense preparedness plan also made in this report signaling equipment Requirements for radar and spare parts were included by the government and the Indian Air Force. This report helped a lot considering the contributions of JRD Tata. The President of India also gave him the posting of Honorary Air Commodore in the Indian Air Force.

By 1991, Gerdy Tata had taken the number of Tata Group companies to 84. The revenue was Rs 24,000 crore and there were 2,70,000 employees. But now at the age of 87, the time had come for him to hand over the command of Tata Group to someone else. Therefore, Jerry Tata had appointed a promising member of the Tata family as the new chairman to hand over the command of the Tata Group to someone else, therefore, Jerry Tata chose a promising member of the Tata family as the new chairman and this new chairman was Sir Ratan Tata.

About 30 years before becoming the Chairman, Sir Ratan Tata was studying architecture in USA till 1962 when he received a letter from J. A. Tata in which he was asked to come to India and join the business. Ratan Tata came to India and founded Tata Steel. joined and was a normal worker there started working like Seeing his dedication and business talent They were given big responsibilities one after the other.

Started meeting before becoming Charmin He saved Empress Mill from losses. made profitable by extracting A major labor unrest in Telco was successfully resolved And Tata's NELCO company Which used to make radio and television etc. Its revenue is from 3 crores was increased to Rs 200 crore When Sir Ratan Tata in 1991 When he became a cherman he knew That Tata Group looks good from outside performing but in reality He was lagging behind in many things They felt that the Group was lagging behind in high technology like computing and AI and the Group was doing the same but in reality it was lagging behind in many things. They felt that the Group was lagging behind in high technology like computing and AI.

Like the group is far behind in computing and AE and the group has not done anything unique for a long time, that Tata He wanted to do something revolutionary for the group through India. With this mindset, he saw that India Ratan Tata did not have any car in which everything from design to production was done in India, so in 1995 Ratan Tata decided to make a 100% Indian car.

A car which is spacious, futuristic, affordable and gives high mileage, But there was a problem, The cost of setting up a new manufacturing plant was around 2 billion dollars, Which was a huge amount, That's why Tata Motors gambled, And an old Nissan plant in Australia was bought for a huge amount at one fifth the cost, so Tata Motors gambled, and an old Nissan plant in Australia Bought the plant at one fifth cost, By dismantling this entire plant Brought to India, and in Pune Rebuilt by Ratan Tata One of the best in designing your own car

Important rules followed, and finally car in 1998 Launched, this is an Indian car was, so to name it Indi was taken from Indian and Ka was taken from car and Indica was created by combining them Tata Indica Auto After Mobil, Ratan Tata focused on technology. He saw that the focus of TCS was in providing administrative services to Indian companies like data entry and book keeping which was a very basic level work, hence Ratan Tata shifted the focus of TCS from administrative services to software services. This was a very basic level work, hence Ratan Tata By shifting the focus of TCS from administrative services

brought to software services After which TCS India And even for the world's biggest organizations Started making customized softwares Ratan Tata also brought TCS IPO Due to which the company got funding to expand. And with these steps even today TCS is India's biggest IT company. After the success of TCS, Sir Ratan Tata focused back on Tata Motors.

He observed that the majority of India's middle class population cannot afford a car. That's why the whole family is forced to travel congested in a scooter. which was very uncomfortable and unsafe Sir Ratan Tata's dream was to make the Indian middle class transition from a scooter to a car, that is why he announced that he will launch a car whose price will be only one lakh rupees.

Keeping his promise, in 2009 he launched Tata Nano at a price point of Rs 1 lakh but unfortunately Nano proved to be a failure. The biggest advantage of Nano was its cheap price but this became its biggest disadvantage. In India, people see a car as a status symbol. Anyone who owns a car is considered successful.

But due to Nano's cheap price and its design, people have called it the world's cheapest car match box and even covered. Branded it like an auto rickshaw, where other car owners used to feel proud of their car, the same is true of Nano. Owners are worried about their car felt and hence nano Proved to be a failure but Tata Motors worried about this failure learned a lot about behavior Which can also be seen in their line up today Today Tata Motors is part of Tata Group.

highest revenue earner The company has finally become Sir Ratan Tata Deeply has become a high revenue earning company. Finally, Sir Ratan Tata deeply wanted that Indian companies need not just India Rather we should do business all over the world And so to expand into foreign markets They started acquiring foreign brands one after another Like to expand Tata Motors in the global luxury market They acquired Jaguar and Land Rover Acquires British brand Tetvar to expand in global tea and coffee market British brand Tetley to expand in global tea and coffee market

and US brand Eto Clock Coffee. acquired Similarly every major company of Tata Like Tata Steel, TCS, Tata Chemicals And I&C L also made acquisitions And today because of these decisions More than half of Tata Group's revenue comes from outside India Under the leadership of Sir Ratan Tata, the Tata Group has earned more revenue from outside India. The list of what the Tata Group has achieved under the leadership of Sir Ratan Tata is very long, whether it is Titan making the world's slimmest watch, TCS making the world's one of two most powerful supercomputer or disrupting the television market by launching Tata Sky. Tata Group has achieved success in almost every area. Sir Ratan Tata says that If you want to go fast then go alone but if you want to go far then take everyone along. Tata Group has always done business with this philosophy. On one hand it has built big companies and on the other hand it has also built schools, colleges and hospitals. Tata Group has always walked along its investors, its employees, its customers and ultimately its country.

And that is why today he gets many times more respect from people than whatever success he has got.
