Under his leadership, the group expanded into steel, automobiles, chemicals, hospitality, power, and information technology. He played a key role in establishing institutions such as Tata Memorial Hospital, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), and supported the growth of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS).
