About the book:

The book is a brilliant attempt by Dr. Mukund Rajan, to sum up two decades of his service with the TATA group, which he joined immediately after completing his DPhil degree as Ratan Tata’s executive assistant. Over the next twenty-three years, as he worked closely with Ratan Tata, he got an inside view of the ups and downs, the controversies and achievements of the TATA group. In this book, he talks of what went on during those turbulent times and how the Tatas pulled through each of those situations. Along with that, this book offers a close portrait of the enigmatic Ratan Tata from his longest-serving executive assistant. The Brand Custodian is a study of the TATA group’s evolution and explains the relevance of the conglomerate to the world.
