New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday paid rich tributes to Ratan Tata, the noted industrialist who passed away at a Mumbai hospital, describing him as a visionary business leader, compassionate soul and an extraordinary human being.

Modi said Tata provided stable leadership to one of India’s oldest and most prestigious business houses, Tata Group, and at the same time his contribution went far beyond the boardroom.
He endeared himself to several people thanks to his humility, kindness and an unwavering commitment to making our society better, the prime minister added.
Modi recalled his old association with the respected industrialist, noting that he met him frequently in Gujarat when he was chief minister.
