Credai National Chairman Manoj Gaur expressed deep admiration for Tata's visionary leadership and relentless pursuit of excellence. “Ratan Tata's leadership has reshaped industries and set new standards in corporate governance, innovation, and social responsibility,” Gaur said. “His deep commitment to building a better India through philanthropy and nation-building resonates deeply with all of us. His enduring legacy will continue to guide and inspire every Indian in the years ahead.”
NAREDCO's National President G Hari Babu echoed similar sentiments, stating, “Ratan Tata's legacy is one that transcends industries, and his impact on India and the world is immeasurable. As a towering figure in business and philanthropy, he set an extraordinary example of leadership that combined vision, integrity, and empathy. His focus on ethical business practices, combined with a deep commitment to social causes, has left an indelible mark on the way we view corporate responsibility today.”
Hiranandani Group Chairman Niranjan Hiranandani expressed his personal loss, sharing on social media, “I will miss my true friend!

He truly left an indelible legacy and will be remembered as a Man of Service.”

His leadership extended beyond corporate success; it was about creating lasting value for society.”
Hari Babu further noted that despite leading one of the world's most valuable conglomerates, Tata was never driven by personal wealth. “His humility and unique approach, where much of the Tata empire is held by charitable trusts, speak volumes about his character. His leadership reminds us that true success isn't just about profits — it's about how we uplift others along the way. As we remember and honor Ratan Tata, his influence will continue to inspire business leaders across industries.”

He called upon the industry to play a meaningful role in national building. He will continue to inspire everyone.”
The real estate industry and India as a whole will carry forward the torch of Ratan Tata’s legacy, guided by his principles of ethical leadership, social responsibility, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
