The TATA Group was founded in 1868 in India and has grown to include 80 companies across 8 industries. It has a global presence with 22% of its revenue coming from outside India and approximately 200,000 employees worldwide. Some of its strengths include its vision and leadership under Ratan Tata, as well as its goodwill and cash flows. However, it also faces challenges such as overdependence on its TCS business, slow movement in certain markets, and a complex ownership structure. Going forward, opportunities exist in expanding into new geographies, pursuing M&A activities, and entering new markets.
