Tata Gifts $50 Million to Harvard Business School
ST Team
Ratan Tata, Chairman of the Tata Group, made the gift on behalf of the Tata Companies, the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, and the Tata Education and Development Trust, the philanthropic entities of the Tata Group. This $50 million donation from Tata makes it the largest gift the school has received from an international donor in its 102-year history.
An alumnus of HBS, Ratan Tata attended the School’s Advanced Management Program — one of three comprehensive leadership programs offered by HBS Executive Education — in 1975. He received the School’s highest honor, the Alumni Achievement Award, in 1995.
Nitin Nohria, Dean of HBS hailed the donation as a “historic gift” and said his focus will be on business ethics, a cause he has long championed, particularly during the financial crisis.
Earlier last month, Anand Mahindra, Head of the Mahindra Group too gave the school $10 million. He had taken graduate and postgraduate degrees there.
