Philanthropy to partnership: Shantanu Naidu’s journey with Ratan Tata
Naidu started a small business venture called ‘Motopaws‘ that put reflective collars on stray dogs to help motorists avoid hitting them on the street in the dark.
In 2014, Naidu, a fifth generation Tata employee, wrote to the philanthropist billionaire seeking his help with his initiative.
To his surprise, Tata wrote back to him two months later and invited him to Mumbai to work for the Tata group.
Naidu moved to the US to pursue an MBA at Cornell University, just like his mentor, but promised to return to India and work for Tata Trust.
Keeping his promise, Naidu accepted an offer to be Tata’s assistant after he completed his MBA and came back home.
