Ratan Tata is one of the leading businessmen in the country and is the former chairman of Tata Sons. Tata is also the current head of the Tata family and is leading the billion-dollar family business to success. However, there is a young man named Shantanu Naidu who is always seen assisting Tata.
Shantanu Naidu is a name that gained popularity a couple of years ago when the video of a young man celebrating Ratan Tata’s birthday with a cake adorned with candles went viral. While Ratan Tata never married and has no children, he has always treated Shantanu like his son.
After the birthday video of Ratan Tata went viral, people started questioning who the young man in the video was. The man was none other than Shantanu Naidu, who is the personal assistant of Ratan Tata and the general manager at his company.

Shantanu Naidu is 29 years old, and he started working for Ratan Tata last year in May. He caught the eye of the former Tata Sons chairman while he was caring for stray dogs through his NGO, attracting Tata with his noble initiative.
