Ratan Tata Death News: Tata breathed his last on Wednesday night (October 9) at Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital, prompting an outpouring of tributes across the nation. However, Paytm CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma's Twitter post attracted backlash for its perceived insensitivity toward the loss of the esteemed industrialist.
Following the news of Ratan Tata's death, tributes flooded in from political figures, business leaders, startup founders, and the entertainment industry, all honouring the legacy of the Tata Group's former chairman. Tata, who passed away on October 9, leaves behind a profound impact on both the business sector and society.
Many took to social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), WhatsApp, and Instagram to express their admiration for Tata's visionary leadership and philanthropic contributions, as well as his role in fostering international relations.
Amidst this wave of homage, Vijay Shekhar Sharma's tweet on Ratan Tata stirred controversy, leading him to delete the post after receiving significant backlash.
In his now-removed message, Sharma stated, "A legend who will inspire every generation. Entrepreneurs of the next generation will miss interacting with the most humble businessman of India. Salutes, Sir. Ok Tata Bye Bye."
The final phrase of Vijay Sharma's post on Ratan Tata's death drew particular ire, with critics questioning its appropriateness. One user remarked, "It must have been written by an intern," implying it was poorly composed. Another noted, "They never miss an opportunity to make headlines," while a third commented, "This is inappropriate."
