Ratan Tata has been an active backer of startups ever since he retired from the helm of the salt-to-software Tata Group. The latest investee company is founded by Shantanu Naidu.
The Cornell University-educated Mr Naidu, 25, is a general manager in Mr Tata's office and has been assisting Tata since 2018. He shares Mr Tata's love for dogs and strays and had previously started a venture around pets as well.
"You do not know what it is like to be lonely until you spend time alone wishing for companionship," the 84-year Mr Tata, a bachelor, said, appreciating Mr Naidu's ideation and also forgiving his mentee for the time he spends away from the office.
Mr Tata said no one minds getting old till you actually get old and also added that getting a good-natured companionship, which we take for granted, is a challenge.
