Question

This well-known Indian business leader was born on 28 December 1937 in Surat. He completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School in the USA. He turned down a job offer from IBM to join his family business, and today he is one of the top business leaders in India. Name this business tycoon.

• A. Ratan Tata
• B. Anil Ambani
• C. Azim Premji
• D. Anand Mahindra

Hint:

He later led the Tata Group and is known for turning a family business into a global brand.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The clues here point to a specific person: birth year 1937, birthplace Surat, a Harvard management course, and a family business he chose over a foreign corporate job.

1. Ratan Tata: Born on 28 December 1937, he studied at Harvard Business School's Advanced Management Program and later took charge of the Tata Group, turning down other job offers to build the family business into a global name.
2. Anil Ambani: He was born in 1959 and built his career mainly around Reliance, so the birth year and background do not match this clue set at all.
3. Azim Premji: He is linked to Wipro, not Tata, and he took over the company after his father's death rather than after turning down a foreign job offer.
4. Anand Mahindra: He was born in 1955 and leads the Mahindra Group, so both his birth year and the specific IBM detail do not fit this description.

Every clue in the question, the birth year, birthplace, Harvard course and the IBM offer, lines up only with Ratan Tata.

Let's summarize:

• Match each biographical detail one by one, and only Ratan Tata fits all of them.

So the tycoon described here is Ratan Tata.
