WHY RATAN TATA INVESTED IN PNC?

This is not the first but a part of the many ventures that Ratan Tata has supported as he is known for standing up for ideas that need back up or have a sparkling future.

Ratan Tata is known for its attitude to give a back-up to the needed start-ups & projects. He has invested in major companies and the list starts with Snapdeal, Ola Cabs, Teabox, Cash Karo.com, Bitcoin venture Abra , online pet portal Dogspot and the much awaited Tigor Electric vehicles.

Tata achieved a plethora of milestones under the chairmanship of Ratan Tata and the philanthrophic activities are one amongst those. So, its not a very new take to invest in up-coming start ups.

It has a motto of self-growth coupled with holistic development of other ventures too.

The other side of coin can be that the major rivals of Tata prominently Reliance is already in the media business with a major venture. So it was now the turn of a giant conglomerate to hold up certain big stake in the market segment. It will also add up to the diversified portfolio of the group.

So holistically this move whether in personal or in professional capacity is a good one to tap the media segment.
