Mumbai, 4 Sep: Maha-rashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday condoled the death of former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry, saying it was not just a loss for his family but for the entire business world.
\nTerming the death of the 54-year-old industrialist as \u201cshocking\u201d, Shinde said Mistry was not just a successful industrialist, but a young and visionary entrepreneur as the business world looked up to him with hope.
\n\u201cHis death is a loss not just for the Mistry family, but for the entire business world,\u201d the CM said.
\nMistry died in a road accident on Sunday afternoon after his car hit a divider in Maharashtra\u2019s Palghar district neigh-bouring Mumbai, a senior police official said.
\nHe was travelling from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in a Mercedes car, the official said.
\nNationalist Congress Party (NCP) MP Supriya Sule said Mistry was like a brother to her.
\n\u201cHis death is shocking for me. I have seen his elevation as the Tata Sons head as well as the subsequent turbulence. He and his wife had gone through a lot of struggle in the last four years. I still cannot believe that he has passed away, she said.
\nHow many times do we have to talk about road safety, she wondered.
\nI used to tease him for his simplicity and low profile life. I had once gone to the Taj Hotel, which is a part of Tata Group, with Cyrus and my husband and surprisingly, the attendant did not recognise Cyrus at all, Sule said.
\nIt is a personal loss for me and my husband Sadanand Sule, said the parliamentarian, who is the daughter of NCP chief Sharad Pawar.
\nGirish Kuber, the editor of Marathi daily Loksatta and author of the book \u2018Tatayan\u2019 based on the Tata Group, said Mistry had a vision for industrial growth and was well known for his command over statistical data.
\n\u201cThe Mistry family had maximum holding in the Tata Group, he said.
\nMistry had good intentions to reorganise the Tata Group\u2019s finances and its structure. In Mistry\u2019s death, we have lost a promising personality from the industry, Kuber said. (PTI)
