Who is Mohini Mohan Dutta? Mystery man to inherit Ratan Tata's USD 57 million will

<p>For India, the year 2024 was emotionally strenous as the country lost some of its influential personalities belonging to various fields, including politics, business, music and entertainment. While the death of Dr Manmohan Singh created a void in the field of politics, the demise of Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain came as a shock to the music and entertainment industry.</p>
<p>Following are some of the prominent personalities who passed away in 2024:</p>
<h2><strong>Dr Manmohan Singh</strong></h2>
<p>India's first Sikh prime Minister and the man behind economic reforms in the country, Dr Manmohan Singh died at the age of 92 on Thursday (Dec 26) at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) after being admitted for age-related issues. He was cremated at the Nigambodh Ghat in New Delhi with full state honours on Saturday (Dec 28).</p>
<p>Singh was the prime minister of the country for two consecutive terms from 2004-2009 and 2009-2014 under the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government led by Congress's Sonia Gandhi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He is also hailed as the architect of economic reforms in the country. As finance minister in 1991 under the Congress government of PV Narasimha Rao, Singh introduced radical reforms in his first Union Budget of 1991-92 with a focus on &lsquo;liberalisation&rsquo; and ended the 'licence raj', opening the gates for private players and multinational companies in India. This revived the Indian economy that was in deep crisis.</p>
<h2><strong>Ratan Tata</strong></h2>
<p>Ratan Naval Tata, former chairman of the Tata Group, one of India's biggest conglomerates, passed away on October 9 at the age of 86. Tata remained as the chairman of the company for 20 years, from 1991 to 2002 and for a brief period in 2016.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After taking over the conglomerate from his uncle JRD Tata, Ratan Tata took the group to great heights. There were several mergers and acquisitions that happened under him. Buying Jaguar Land Rover from Ford in June 2008 was one of the major investments by the company during his time. This acquisition turned out to be a big turning point for the Indian automotive industry.</p>
<p>Looking at his achievements, the government of India awarded him the Padma Bhushan in the year 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2008.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Zakir Hussain</strong></h2>
<p>A global music icon, Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, passed away on December 15 in San Francisco at the age of 73. According to his family members, he was suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Hussain redefined Indian classical music by blending traditional tabla rhythms with global genres for which he got international acclaim. He is a recipient of Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan awards conferred by the government of India. Notably, he is also a four-time Grammy winner. He is credited with bringing the Indian classical music to a global audience.</p>
<p>Hussain is survived by his wife, Antonia Minnecola, his daughter Anisa Qureshi and Isabella Qureshi.</p>
<h2><strong>Pankaj Udhas</strong></h2>
<p>Renowned ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas passed away in February at the age of 72 due to prolonged illness. Udhas, along with fellow musicians Jagjit Singh, Anup Jalota, Talat Aziz and Bhupender Singh, played a pivotal role in popularising Ghazals among the masses of the country.</p>

A post going viral on social media has claimed that Ratan Tata's pet dog 'Goa' died three days after the death of the chairman emeritus of one of India's biggest conglomerates, Tata Sons.

A post going viral on social media has claimed that Ratan Tata's pet dog 'Goa' died three days after the death of the chairman emeritus of one of India's biggest conglomerates, Tata Sons. Rumours stated that Goa, who is a permanent resident at the Tata Group's office at Bombay House, died due to the shock of its owner's death. "Sad news. Tata's pet dog Goa dies after 3 days of his death. That's why they say that Dogs are more faithful to their masters than human beings," read the viral post. As the supposed news went viral, Sudhir Kudalkar, a senior inspector in the Mumbai Police stepped up and conducted his investigation. Kudalkar took to his Instagram account after his probe and debunked the fake news, stating that 'Goa' was alive and doing fine. "I verified this with Shantanu Naidu, a close friend of Tata Ji, and he confirmed that Goa is doing fine," Kudalkar posted. He also shared screenshots of his messages with Shantanu Naidu confirming Goa's good health. The senior police officer also cautioned the netizens to not fall for rumours and misinformation. "Please make sure to verify facts before sharing posts," he added.

Why Narayana Murthy once touched the feet of Ratan Tata? Here's the entire story

<p>Ratan Tata, the Tata Group doyen who died on Wednesday night (Oct 9) had a sharp sense of humour which was sometimes self-deprecating. Some of his sense of humour used to shine forth at public events, where his answers left the audience laughing out loud.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Once, to a rather profound question about his statement that 'I don't believe in making right decisions, I make decisions and make them right', Tata said, "Facebook and Twitter made that statement, it was not made by me."</p>

<p>The female presenter gasped, saying "That's awkward."</p>

<p>"You come to know of it when people read them back to you," Tata said to laughter from the audience.</p>

<p>"There is no remedial action you can take with social media," he added for good measure.</p>

Asked by Infosys cofounder Narayana Murthy at a business summit what his first feeling was when he sat in the chair once occupied by Tata founder JRD Tata, Ratan said he was confused as he had big shoes to fill.</p>

<p>"The confusion was not only in my mind because J [JRD Tata] never left the office. Very often when he walked into the boardroom, he would sit in the chairman's chair, and then five minutes later he would say 'Oh, I&nbsp;shouldn't have been here'. Then you play musical chairs in the boardroom."</p>

<br />
In the same event, he said he inherited a board "that must have had an average age of 85."</p>

<p>"Several of them had to be helped into the boardroom because they could no longer walk freely. Some of them came and sat down and fell asleep. Others didn't hear too well," he said as the audience laughed.</p>

<p>"And when it came to making changes, they all woke up and ensured that no change took place," he said with giggles. His&nbsp;first few years as Tata Group chairman were spent on how to "graciously ease them out of the company," he added.</p>

<p>But probably the most meme-worthy answer from Tata was to a girl student, who asked 'What excites you the most?'</p>

<p>"That's the most difficult question you'll ask this evening. How can I say that publicly?" he said, leaving the audience in splits and letting them make their own conclusions.</p>

<p>At a startup event when Snapdeal founder Kunal Bahl showered him with praise, saying he never thought the day would come when he'd be sitting six inches away from Tata, the maverick tycoon said,&nbsp;"Thank you for putting me at ease. I have been as nervous about sitting six inches from you as you've been."</p>

<p>Bahl then asked the audience how many people who want to be entrepreneurs would want Tata's investment. To this, Tata said,&nbsp;"Then they will need Kunal's money."&nbsp;</p>

Ratan Tata, the Tata Group doyen who died on Wednesday night (Oct 9) had a sharp sense of humour which was sometimes self-deprecating. Some of his sense of humour used to shine forth at public events, where his answers left the audience laughing out loud.

Ratan Tata, the Tata Group doyen who died on Wednesday night (Oct 9) had a sharp sense of humour which was sometimes self-deprecating. Some of his sense of humour used to shine forth at public events, where his answers left the audience laughing out loud. Once, to a rather profound question about his statement that 'I don't believe in making right decisions, I make decisions and make them right', Tata said, "Facebook and Twitter made that statement, it was not made by me." The female presenter gasped, saying "That's awkward." "You come to know of it when people read them back to you," Tata said to laughter from the audience. "There is no remedial action you can take with social media," he added for good measure. Watch: From Indica To Jaguar: Ratan Tata's Legacy Lives On × Asked by Infosys cofounder Narayana Murthy at a business summit what his first feeling was when he sat in the chair once occupied by Tata founder JRD Tata, Ratan said he was confused as he had big shoes to fill. "The confusion was not only in my mind because J [JRD Tata] never left the office. Very often when he walked into the boardroom, he would sit in the chairman's chair, and then five minutes later he would say 'Oh, I shouldn't have been here'. Then you play musical chairs in the boardroom." Also read: Why Narayana Murthy once touched the feet of Ratan Tata? Here's the entire story In the same event, he said he inherited a board "that must have had an average age of 85." "Several of them had to be helped into the boardroom because they could no longer walk freely. Some of them came and sat down and fell asleep. Others didn't hear too well," he said as the audience laughed. "And when it came to making changes, they all woke up and ensured that no change took place," he said with giggles. His first few years as Tata Group chairman were spent on how to "graciously ease them out of the company," he added. Also read: Ratan Tata once said he wanted 'to be remembered as...' His words have now gone viral But probably the most meme-worthy answer from Tata was to a girl student, who asked 'What excites you the most?' "That's the most difficult question you'll ask this evening. How can I say that publicly?" he said, leaving the audience in splits and letting them make their own conclusions. Watch a compilation video here: × At a startup event when Snapdeal founder Kunal Bahl showered him with praise, saying he never thought the day would come when he'd be sitting six inches away from Tata, the maverick tycoon said, "Thank you for putting me at ease. I have been as nervous about sitting six inches from you as you've been." Bahl then asked the audience how many people who want to be entrepreneurs would want Tata's investment. To this, Tata said, "Then they will need Kunal's money." Once, at a public interaction with his former girlfriend, actress and TV host Simi Garewal, Tata made a humourous attack on Bollywood for violence in films, which in his telling used a lot of ketchup in place of blood.
