The 82-year-old Jimmy is a shareholder in Tata Sons and other Tata Group companies but he prefers to maintain a low profile. It is surprising that Jimmy still lives in a a 2BHK flat in Colaba and does not own even a mobile phone.

He was introduced to the world by RPG Group chairman via a Twitter post on January 19, 2022.

“Did you know of Ratan Tata's younger brother Jimmy Tata who lives a quiet reticent life in a humble 2 bhk flat in Colaba, Mumbai!Never interested in business, he was a very good squash player and would beat me every time. Low profile like the Tata group!” Goenka wrote in the viral post.
