Book Review:Tata Log
This post is in continuation of my book review series (see here)
Tata Log is a book on the various aspects of the Tata Group.It covers various events in the Tata Group such as the launch of Tanishq,the path breaking SCIP program,the tribulations of Tata Finance, the making of Tata Indica etc
Written in a very easygoing and informal style,this makes for a good light read and I was able to finish it in one go.
The author of the book is Harish Bhat,the Managing Director of Tata Global Beverages Ltd.Mr. Bhat is widely regarded as an inspiring leader and a terrific person.Courteous to a fault and chivalrous to the extreme, I had the good fortune to listen to him at the book launch.
I would strongly recommend this book for those readers who want to know more about the Tata group.
