WHEN THE REFURBISHED Bombay House opened its doors on July 29, 2018, it marked another moment in history for the iconic headquarters of the Tata group. The new had not replaced the old. Instead, the conventional core received a contemporary brush, with high-tech offices, a digitally enhanced visitor experience centre, doors that open with the touch of a finger, and a cool Starbucks outlet, too. The structure from the British era, which was completed in 1924, retains its neo-classical look. Yet, it is in touch with the times. The evolution of the Tata group itself is not very different.
