"A day I will remember with a smile always" - Sachin Tendulkar on his recent meeting with Ratan Tata
Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar recently shared a picture with the former chairman of Tata and Sons, Ratan Tata. The star cricketer mentioned that he met and interacted with the industrialist on Sunday, May 19.
Sharing details of the meeting, Tendulkar stated that the two had conversations about automobiles and wildlife conservation. Suggesting that he will always remember the meeting fondly, the former Team India batter wrote on his official Instagram handle:
"A Memorable Conversation. Last Sunday was memorable, as I had the opportunity to spend time with Mr. Tata. We shared stories and insights about our mutual love for automobiles, our commitment to giving back to society, passion for wildlife conservation, and affection for our furry friends 🐕. Conversations like these are invaluable and remind us of the joy and impact our passions can bring to our lives. It’s a day I will remember with a smile always."
Sachin Tendulkar is widely considered one of the greatest ever to have played the sport. With 34,357 runs to his name across formats, he is the highest run-getter in international cricket. He also has 100 international centuries, the most by any player.
Sachin Tendulkar entered the restaurant business by partnering with an ex-employee of Ratan Tata
Apart from his cricketing and broadcasting commitments, Sachin Tendulkar has also been at the forefront of multiple businesses. Interestingly, an ex-employee of Ratan Tata helped the ace batter in one such venture.
Sachin Narang, who previously worked with Tata's Taj Group of Hotels as the head of air catering, helped Tendulkar start his chain of restaurants in Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Narang, a close friend of Tendulkar, set up the restaurants through the Mars Hospitality Group. His sister, Rachna Narang, is in charge of designing the hotels that are opened by the group.
It is worth mentioning that she had also earlier set up a bakery in a joint venture with Taj Group of Hotels before joining Mars Hospitality Group.
