The Tata Group takes corporate social responsibility seriously: the Tata trust gives away about $100 million every year to charity. Ratan Tata is only now, with retirement staring him in the face, building a house for himself. He feels frustrated at the disparities in India; "people should be conscious of not flaunting disparity". Who could he mean? He is modest, even humble, and was embarrassed by the compliments, declaring he was more used to "having mud on my face". The most endearing thing about him is that he adopts street dogs. The super-wealthy, invariably, want exclusivity: monstrous homes, super-yachts, the loneliest beach, the rarest dog...and here's Ratan Tata, head of an empire, choosing as pets 4-5 desi street dogs.
