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

Step 1: List the biographical markers.
Birth year 1937, birthplace Surat, Harvard Advanced Management Program, an IBM job offer turned down, and leadership of a major Indian business family.

Step 2: Match markers to known industrialists.
Anil Ambani and Anand Mahindra were both born later, in 1959 and 1955, so the 1937 birth year already rules them out. Azim Premji's story centers on Wipro and does not include an IBM offer turned down.

Step 3: Confirm the fit.
Ratan Tata's known biography carries every one of these details: the 1937 birth, the Harvard course, and choosing the Tata family business over IBM.

Final Answer:
The tycoon is Ratan Tata. \[ \boxed{\text{Ratan Tata}} \]
