He is also associated with various organisations in India and overseas. Tata is on the international advisory boards of Mitsubishi Corporation and JP Morgan Chase.
Ratan Tata's deep fake video
This is not the first instance of Ratan Tata addressing fake news. In December of the previous year, he exposed a deepfake video that depicted him asking people to invest money in a project, which he denounced as fraudulent.
"I get millions of messages a day asking me to help you. Together with my manager Sona Agarwal, I launched a project. In order to get into the project, you need to deposit a minimum amount," the video wrongly showed Tata as saying. While sharing the video on his Instagram story, Ratan Tata alerted people and called it fake.
