印度知名慈善家和塔塔集團前主席拉坦·塔塔於10月9日去世，享年86歲。塔塔被送往孟買的Breach Candy醫院，處於危急狀態，在那裏他最終去世。
What Happened: Tata was known for his instrumental role in globalizing and modernizing one of India's oldest business houses. His audacious business risks and high-profile acquisition strategy kept the conglomerate relevant post India's economic liberalization in the 1990s.
發生了什麼：塔塔因在全球化和現代化印度最古老企業之一方面發揮的關鍵作用而廣爲人知。在印度經濟自由化後的1990年代，他大膽的商業冒險和備受關注的收購策略使這個企業集團保持了活力。
One of Tata's significant contributions was facilitating Starbucks' entry into India in 2012 through a 50:50 joint venture with Tata Global Beverages Ltd. This marked Starbucks' successful second attempt to penetrate the Indian market.

Tata's remarks were "perfect and so heartfelt," Schultz said.
舒爾茨說，塔塔的講話「完美而真摯」。
Schultz described Tata as a "man with so much grace" and admired his wisdom and insight about India and the world. He was so touched by Tata's words that he was brought to tears while recounting the experience at a forum meeting weeks later.
舒爾茨形容塔塔是一個「非常有風度的人」，並稱贊他對印度和世界的智慧和洞察。他被塔塔的話感動得淚流滿面，後來在一個論壇會議上回憶這一經歷。
Schultz said Tata had "so much wisdom and insight not only about India but about the world."
舒爾茨說，塔塔「非常有智慧和見解，不僅了解印度，還了解世界」。
In an official statement, Starbucks credited Tata for being "instrumental in building the partnership with Starbucks Coffee Company that brought the company's coffeehouse experience to India and showcased Indian coffees to the world."
星巴克在一份官方聲明中稱讚塔塔「在建立與星巴克咖啡公司的合作伙伴關係方面起到了重要作用，將該公司的咖啡店體驗帶入印度，並向世界展示了印度咖啡。」
