Ratan Tata ‘deeply moved’ by York University doctorate

York University honoured renowned Indian business leader Ratan Tata with a honourary doctorate of laws degree last Friday’s convocation of  the Schulich School of Business.

“I just want to tell you how deeply indebted and deeply moved I am to receive this honour that you have bestowed,” Tata said.

“I had no idea that this university and this business school had done the various things … [and] moved beyond the shores of Canada to reflect the internationality of the world we live in today.”

The chairman emeritus of the Mumbai-based TataSons and chairman of the Tata Trusts urged the graduates to not only work toward their own success but the success of others so that they are remembered for their good work. “As you go out into the world, many of you will be leaders of countries and or businesses — just remember that there are millions of people who are less fortunate than you are and that hopefully one of the achievements you will make in your life will be making a difference.”
