Ratan Tata’s Brother Leads a Simple and Unassuming Life

Ratan Tata, the renowned industrialist and Tata Group patriarch, shares a close relationship with his younger brother, Jimmy Tata. While Ratan Tata is a household name, Jimmy remains relatively unknown to the public. Recently, Ratan Tata shared a black-and-white photograph from 1945 on his social media, featuring himself and Jimmy, prompting many to inquire about Jimmy’s life and lifestyle.

Jimmy Tata, unlike his brother, has chosen to lead a modest and low-profile life. Despite owning significant shares in major Tata companies such as Tata Steel, Tata Motors, and TCS, he has consistently avoided the limelight. Jimmy resides in a two-bedroom apartment in Colaba, Mumbai’s Hampton Court, choosing simplicity over luxury.

Reports suggest that Jimmy Tata does not own a mobile phone and rarely travels. To stay updated, he prefers reading newspapers and books rather than relying on digital platforms. A report by IndiaTimes highlights his penchant for spending most of his time at home, stepping out sparingly.

In addition to his business interests, Jimmy Tata is an accomplished squash player. Harsh Goenka, a well-known industrialist, previously mentioned in a social media post that Jimmy often defeated him in squash, underscoring his talent in the sport.

Jimmy Tata is the second child of Naval Tata and his first wife Sooni Commissariat. While he has a substantial stake in the family business, he is known for showing little interest in its operations, further emphasizing his preference for a quiet life away from media attention.
