Profil
Il aura fallu attendre que le magazine Forbes l'élise businessman de l'année 2005 pour connaître un peu mieux Ratan Tata. L'homme qui cultive une discrétion exemplaire est à la tête de Tata Group, un conglomérat d'une centaine de filiales dont les fleurons sont Tata Steel, quatrième mondial de l'acier, Tata Motors et Tata Telecoms.
Jeune diplômé de Cornell University - New York, Ratan décline une proposition d'IBM pour rejoindre le groupe Tata. Il fera ses armes dans la branche acier du groupe jusqu'en 1971 où il est nommé directeur de National Radio & Electronics Company Limited (Nelco), une des sociétés du groupe Tata. La société connait de grandes difficultés. Il fait alors le pari d'une technologie de pointe qui remplacera peu à peu les produits électroniques destinés au grand public. En quatre ans, les parts de marché de Nelco bondissent de 2 à 20% mais ce succès sera de courte durée.
En 1975 Indira Gandhi est Premier Ministre, la récession frappe le pays, les affaires ne sont plus aussi florissantes et les mouvements sociaux paralysent la production de Nelco. La crise sera telle que Nelco se voit contraint de fermer.
En 1977 Ratan est en charge de l'usine de textiles du groupe mais cette dernière utilisant encore des moulins peine à exister face aux grosses entreprises qui émergent dans le pays. Ratan souhaite enclencher un mouvement de modernisation mais le groupe lui refuse le soutien financier. En 1985, l'usine ferme à son tour. La mésaventure laissera un souvenir douloureux à Ratan Tata.
En 1986, il est nommé président de Tata Industries, une des filiales du groupe avant de devenir en 1991, le Président Directeur Général de Tata Group. L'homme dispose enfin des moyens de ses ambitions. Il enclenche une opération de restructuration de très grande ampleur pour dessiner sept domaines d'activités du groupe. Les anciens sont invités à laisser la place à la jeune garde convaincue que l'avenir est dans les technologies de pointe.
En 2000, Tata rachète Tetley Tea le fabricant de thé anglais, c'est le début de la construction de l'empire Tata.
En 2007, Tata acquiert pour 2,6 milliards de dollars le groupe anglo-néerlandais Corus - anciennement British Steel - spécialiste de l'acier et de l'aluminium, il installe son groupe à la quatrième place mondiale des producteurs d'acier.
En mars 2008, Tata rivalise avec les plus grands groupes automobiles grâce à l'acquisition de deux marques mythiques, Jaguar et Land Rover pour 2,3 milliards de dollars et devient le nouveau patron de 16000 employés britanniques. Fin 2008, la crise du secteur automobile fait chuter les bénéfices des fabricants de près de 30%, Tata décide alors d'en appeler au gouvernement Brown pour sauver Tata Motors, il demande une aide d'un milliard de dollars.
Tata Group c'est aujourd'hui 98 filiales, 300.000 employés et 3,2% du PIB indien.
Au mois de juin 2011, la capitalisation boursière de Tata Group a atteint 4320 milliards de roupies, soit 67 milliards d’euros, arrachant le titre de première entreprise indienne à Reliance Industrie, le conglomérat de Mukesh Ambani.
