Ratan Tata, the iconic businessman who passed away in October 2024 at the age of 86, left behind a legacy of generosity and success. In his will, a mystery man was named as the recipient of ₹500 crore, which has left many people in the business world puzzled. The person who was given such a large amount of wealth is Mohini Mohan Dutta, an entrepreneur from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand.

So, who exactly is Mohini Mohan Dutta?
Mohini Mohan Dutta is a well-known businessman based in Jamshedpur, a city in Jharkhand. He was the owner of a travel agency named Stallion, which he ran for many years. In 2013, his company merged with a subsidiary of the famous Taj Group of Hotels, Taj Services. At that time, Dutta and his family owned 80% of the company, while the remaining 20% was held by the Tata Group.

But Dutta’s connection to the Tata family didn’t stop there. He was also a director of TC Travel Services, a company that was once affiliated with the well-known travel agency Thomas Cook.

Dutta was not just a businessman; he had a close association with Ratan Tata and was known in the Tata family’s inner circle. It is said that Mohini Mohan Dutta and Ratan Tata have known each other for nearly 60 years. Their friendship started when Dutta met Ratan Tata at the Dealers' Hostel in Jamshedpur when Ratan Tata was just 24 years old.

Over the years, Dutta often spoke about how much Ratan Tata had supported him in his life. He described Ratan Tata as someone who "built me up" and helped him achieve success.

Dutta’s family also had ties to the Tata family. His daughter worked for Tata Trusts for nearly nine years. Before that, she had worked for Taj Hotels, another part of the Tata Group.

Ratan Tata, known for his simplicity and humility, left behind a net worth of ₹8000 crore. However, most of his wealth was donated to charity during his lifetime. His passing in 2024 left a huge impact on both the business world and the people who knew him personally.

The mystery surrounding Mohini Mohan Dutta’s name in Ratan Tata’s will has raised many questions, but what is clear is that Dutta shared a deep and lasting bond with the Tata family. His inclusion in the will shows the strength of that relationship, and it highlights Ratan Tata’s willingness to help those who were close to him.
