The headquarters of the Tata group, Bombay House, is also home to a few of Ratan Tata's best friends. In fact, they are the only denizens who can walk in without an access card. Meet Goa, Tata's favorite doggo and the other furry residents.
Street dogs have always found a welcoming home at Bombay House. The renovation done in 2018, ensured that they had a space of their own, with controlled climate, comfortable cushions and an access door so that they can walk in and out as they wish. Some non-residents also visit the room from time to time for good food, warm beds, shelter from the rain or for the occasional vaccination or health check-up.
Ratan Tata, the doyen of India's industries and a compassionate and renowned philanthropist, has now taken it several notches up. He is about to launch his new and eagerly awaited project-a state-of-the-art veterinary hospital in Mumbai.
Do get to know the furballs who were key to inspiring Ratan Tata to build this special hospital.
