I think that one must have anyone as a source of inspiration to look upon because one can learn not only from their success but also from their failures too. If I had to talk one such person whom I am a great admirer of then it would surely be Sarathan Tata. He passed away last month on 9th of October. He was a great businessman and philanthropist too. I although don’t know him personally but I have read a lot about him online and moreover from the news channels too. He was the man of his words. Moreover his last project was for the welfare of dogs as he was a passionate dog lover. He had a net worth of 1300 crores and he had donated 65% of it for the charity work only. I have never seen any businessman like him. Moreover he was a trustee of various educational institutes. He had built many different hospitals where cancer treatment is given free to the unprivileged people. One such interesting story which really touched my heart was that during the period of lockdown where big corporate companies were laying off employees. One girl he called him and he requested him to give a job to his father as he was in depression. Within two days he offered him a job letter and that really fascinated me. He had so much to offer to the society. I think that if I acquire even 1% of his trades and I would be able to serve the society in a better way. I remember that after his demise many renowned personalities even from the foreign lands they were tweeting and they were feeling really sad. So this shows how great personality he was.
