22. BUSINESS EDUCATION
HOW ABOUT BUSINESS?
In 1907, the Britishers challenged the Tata’s saying - “What? Are the Tata’s are going to produce
steel in accordance with British standards? If they can do that we will eat every bit of steel produced by
them”. Jamshedji Tata who founded the Tata group of companies, never gave up. With all the courage
he challenged them with the only objective of succeeding and started “Tata Steels”, which is now one of
the world’s best steel manufacturing companies.
