Mumbai : The Tata Group re-opened Bombay House, its headquarters in Mumbai, after a 9-month-long restoration process on Sunday, which also marked the 114th birth anniversary of its Former Chairman, JRD Tata.
Built in 1924, the 94-year-old heritage building has undergone energetic refurbishment and restoration for the first time in its history.
The building was designed by the well-known architect, George Wittet, who was also the architect of the Gateway of India, the Prince of Wales Museum, now called Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. Ratan Tata, Chairman Emeritus, Tata Sons, inaugurated the iconic building in the presence of N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons and other Tata employees.
“The renovation of this 94-year-old heritage building, the first in its history, has revolved around designing for the employees a more modern, collaborative and informal workplace equipped with the best of technologies and security systems,” Chandrasekaran said.
The four floors of the building house offices of major Tata organisations. The historic boardroom on the fourth floor has been restored with only technology being a new addition.
