New Delhi: Ratan Tata, a man with a golden heart, has left "unlimited" care behind for his four-legged friend Tito - a German Shepherd pet dog. In what could probably be a first for India, industrialist and philanthropist Tata reportedly made provisions for his pet dog in Rs 10,000 crore will. As per a TOI report, Tito, who was adopted by Ratan Tata around five or six years ago, will be taken care by his longtime cook, Rajan Shaw.
His butler, Subbiah also finds a mention in his will with whom Tata spent almost three decades. He also used to buy designer clothes for them during his foreign trips. Notably, his millennial friend Shantanu Naidu also features in the will.
Ratan Tata reportedly relinquished all his stake in Naidu’s companionship venture, Goodfellows, and waived Naidu’s overseas education expenses.
