I Came Upon a Lighthouse: A Short Memoir of Life with Ratan Tata
This memoir offers an intimate window into the life of one of India's most celebrated industrialists, seen through the eyes of someone who knew him as friend rather than figurehead. When a young automobile designer's passion for protecting stray dogs caught the attention of a business titan with similar values, an extraordinary relationship began. What started as a professional investment blossomed into something far richer: a cross-generational friendship between a man in his twenties and someone in his eighties. Shantanu Naidu captures the quieter moments, the unexpected vulnerabilities, and the everyday magic of knowing someone the rest of the world sees only from a distance. Away from boardrooms and balance sheets, these pages reveal the compassion, humour, and humanity that defined him. It's a touching exploration of how two people from different worlds found common ground and, in doing so, changed each other's lives. Honest and genuinely moving, this account strips away the mythology to show us the person beneath the accolades.
