Under his leadership, the Tata Group expanded its presence in the Gulf region, contributing to key sectors such as automotive, telecommunications, and infrastructure. Notably, Tata Motors’ commercial vehicles became prominent in Gulf markets, while Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) provided IT services to many companies across the region.
