HR Professional Post On Ratan Tata’s Love For Dog
In a LinkedIn post, an HR professional named Rubi Khan said “This is the entrance of the Taj Mahal Hotel, one of the most luxurious and finest hotels in the country. During my stay, as I started my day, I noticed a living being sleeping peacefully in the same spot, seemingly carefree. My curiosity led me to ask the hotel staff about him, and I learned that he has been a part of the hotel since birth. There are strict instructions from Mr. Ratan Tata to treat these animals well if they enter the premises.”
She added , “What inspired me to write this is the realization that this place, home to numerous guests ranging from political dignitaries to national and international celebrities, values every being within its walls. The entrance of such a prestigious establishment holds significant importance, and there he was, peacefully sleeping, perhaps unnoticed by many of the guests. Amidst the chaos, he owns the place, finding his sanctuary.”

Another use said, ‘’It’s not just Ratan Tata, it’s the Tata’s ethics. They have always been known for their kindness and integrity. Offering jobs to the family members of employees after retirement, providing free medical care, and pensions reflects their commitment to their employees’ well-being. My grandfather worked at TATA STEEL from the 1940s until his retirement, and he received excellent benefits, including pensions and medical treatments.’’
