Ratan Tata’s compassion for animals was well-known, and his philanthropic efforts extended beyond business into animal welfare. One such instance that captured his love for dogs occurred in 2018, when he cancelled a trip to London to receive a prestigious lifetime achievement award from Prince Charles (now King Charles III).
Suhel Seth tried to persuade Ratan Tata to make it to the event by citing Prince Charles but to no avail. He didn’t turn up for his own award.
