Nanabhoy (Nani) Ardeshir Palkhivala – The Legend
3rd March, the birth anniversary of our Founder, Jamsetji Tata is celebrated as Founder’s Day by Tata group companies.
The first Founders' Day celebrations took place in Jamshedpur in 1932.
It was D. M. Madan, Chief Accountant, Tata Iron and Steel Company who first conceived the idea of holding an annual gathering that should give each employee an opportunity of expressing his regard for the memory of the genius to whose faith and judgment, energy and perseverance, the Tata group bears enduring witness.
At the same time, the ceremony was devised so as to enable each worker to demonstrate his pride of membership in the organisation.
To this day, as a tribute to the Founder, March 3 is celebrated as Founder's Day with much pomp and gaiety.
