Ratan Tata's brother Jimmy Tata 'lives in a humble 2 bhk': Harsh Goenka

Harsh Goenka, Chairman of the RPG Group, on Wednesday introduced Twitter to industrialist Ratan Tata's younger brother Jimmy Tata.

Goenka shared that the 81-year-old brother lives a "quiet reticent life in a humble 2 bhk flat" in Mumbai's Colaba, and was "never interested in business."

He also added that Jimmy Tata was a very good squash player and would beat Goenka every time.

Twitter reacted with surprise and delight at the introduction.

For all his 81 years, Jimmy Tata has maintained a distance from the limelight. A shareholder in Tata Sons and several other Tata companies, he is a trustee of Sir Ratan Tata Trust, a position he inherited after his father Naval died, in accordance with his will, The Times of India had reported in 2016.

According to the report, Jimmy Tata does not own a phone and newspapers seem to be a window to the outside world.
