Kitab Khana at Fort played host to the launch of a book, ‘The Tatas: How a family built a business and a nation’ published by HarperCollins India, on Monday evening. The venue was apt, the proverbial stone’s throw away from Tata headquarters, Bombay House. The writer, Girish Kuber, was in conversation with senior journalists Rajrishi Singhal and Vivek Kaul. The man who gave an inside view of the Tatas at the event though was R Gopalakrishnan former director, Tata Sons who also formally released the book.

A connect

"This is the first time I read a book back to front because I felt a personal connect with the latter chapters. It was a bit like the Hindi movies that show an old couple. Then, there is a flashback of them running around trees, showcasing how they got together," Gopalkrishnan said to laughs.
