Story of revenge against Ford
Now let us talk about the story of Ratan Tata’s revenge, which will always be known as an example. Actually, this incident happened in the year 90s, when Tata Motors launched its car Tata Indica under the leadership of Ratan Tata, who was the chairman of Tata Sons. But, at that time Tata cars were not being sold as per Ratan Tata’s thought. Due to poor response to Tata Indica and continuous losses, they had decided to sell their passenger car division (Passenger Car Business) and for this, talks were going on with American car manufacturer Ford Motors.
never forget your insult
When Ratan Tata decided to sell his passenger car business to Ford. So Ford Chairman Bill Ford made fun of him during the meeting. Bill Ford had told him that if you did not know anything, then why did you start the passenger car division at all? Bill did not stop here and said that if we buy this business of yours, it will be a favor to you.
These words of Bill Ford touched their hearts and minds. After this meeting, he postponed the decision of coming back to India and selling the passenger car business and then started aiming to bring a revolution in the automobile sector in India. He proved that failure is a stepping stone to success. He devoted his entire focus to taking Tata Motors to new heights and within a decade, Tata Motors became the king of this sector.
Buy big brands of Ford
After about nine years, when Tata Motors was touching new heights, by that time the condition of Ford Motors had deteriorated and it was on the verge of bankruptcy. During this time, Ratan Tata offered to buy Ford’s Jaguar and Land Rover brands. When there was a meeting between Ratan Tata and Bill Ford regarding this deal, the tone of Ford Chairman Bill Ford had changed. He thanked Ratan Tata for this offer and said, you are doing us a big favor by purchasing Jaguar-Land Rover (JLR).
