The Energy and Resources Institute, commonly known as TERI (formerly Tata Energy Research Institute), established in 1974, is a research institute based in New Delhi focusing its research activities in the fields of energy, environment and sustainable development. According to Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) at the International Relations Program, University of Pennsylvania, TERI was ranked 20 in the list of top global think tanks on environment and 16 in top global think tanks on science and technology.

The origins of TERI lie in Mithapur, a remote town in Gujarat, where a TATA engineer, Darbari Seth, was concerned about the enormous quantities of energy his factory spent on desalination. He proposed the idea of a research institute to tackle the depletion of natural resources and energy scarcity. JRD Tata, chairman of the TATA Group, liked the idea and accepted the proposal. TERI was set up with a modest corpus of 35 million rupees. On the invitation of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, TERI registered in Delhi in 1974 as the Tata Energy Research Institute.

It was renamed The Energy and Resources Institute in 2003

Okay guys, it it only me or others too believe that Tata still needs Mr. Ratan Tata and his vision to make some more massive moves?
In my views, retirement of Mr. Tata in itself is a loss for the MNC.

That means I am not alone :biggrin:
Definitely the vision of Mr. Tata is something Tata has lost, IMO he wasn't old enough to take a retirement so early. Cyrus Mistry seems to be an unknown personality, nothing from his side. I don't remember if I ever read a statement from his side on Tata Motors.

Where friends are
Thanks autosafari for an elaborative article.

I hope TATA ASS should also feel pride to be associated with such a legacy, & behave / perform accordingly. Then I think sales charts could have been totally different. I always dream one day our indian brand names will be major international figures.

Tata success story is based on humanity, philanthropy and ethics
By Peter Casey
(The writer Peter Casey is founder chairman of Claddagh Resources, a global recruitment firm. He is also a business columnist with Ireland's largest-selling newspaper The Sunday Independent)

Companies are traditionally organised on two lines - either to make money for their shareholders or, in idealised socialist theory, to deliver services for sections of the community. My book, The Greatest Company In The World? The Story of Tata, is a story about a truly unique company which was established to do both.

This company has not merely reformulated many of the business principles we have been taught for generations; it has turned them upside down. While many of its companies are publicly traded, the Tata Group has evolved from being a family-owned business to becoming one of the best-run and professionally-managed groups in the world.

My top three heroes - people who actually and positively changed the world we live in - are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Jamsetji Tata. Jamsetji's legacy, like the other two, continues to change people's lives for the better on a daily basis. In business terms, he founded the greatest company in the world.

Tata is most valuable brand in India despite 11% decline in value

Tata remained India’s most valuable brand in 2015-16 with a brand valuation of $13.7 billion despite 11 per cent value erosion during the year due to troubles concerning its steel business in the U.K, according to Brand Finance India.

The top 10 brands of 2015-16
Tata ($13.7 billion)
LIC ($6.6 billion),
Airtel ($5.7 billion),
SBI ($5.7 billion),
Infosys ($4.7 billion),
Reliance ($3.5 billion),
ONGC ($3.4 billion),
L&T ($3.3 billion),
Indian Oil ($3.2 billion) and
HCL ($3.2 billion).

Brand Finance values the brands on basis of several factors.

These include the company’s revenue, profit and future prospects. All of these are evaluated in a competitive context and each brand is assigned a brand strength index.
