Even beyond the grave, Ratan Tata continues to be a beacon of inspiration for many. Singer-mountaineer Rina Charaniya recently credited the late business tycoon as her “lifelong idol” and also spoke at length about how Tata Hospital was instrumental in saving her father’s life.

In an interview with Odisha TV.com, the ‘Baatein Uski’ singer said, “I deeply admire him for his humility and ethical approach to business. He has left behind a profound legacy of compassion and integrity. His unwavering commitment to prioritizing people and animals over profit shone through his philanthropic efforts and initiatives, transforming countless lives in the process. I’ve been following his footsteps since a very young age, and it was my dream to meet him one day, but unfortunately, I couldn’t..”

Charaniya added another feather to her cap. She successfully reached the summit of Carstensz Pyramid on October 12. After emerging as the winner, she dedicated the summit to Ratan Tata.

Speaking at length about her mountaineering campaign, she said, “Talking about the climb, she shared in a statement, “Located on the island of New Guinea in Indonesia, the Carstensz Pyramid rises to an elevation of 4,884 meters and is renowned for its technical difficulty and harsh, unpredictable weather conditions. This climb marked the third peak I've conquered as part of my Seven Summits journey, a prestigious challenge to scale the highest mountains on each continent.”

Charaniya added, “The climb itself was infamous for its sheer rock faces and ever-changing weather. As I began my summit push, I faced a ferocious combination of wind, rain, and snowstorms. The near-vertical rock walls and knife-edged ridges became even more treacherous as the weather worsened. Strong winds threatened to destabilize my footing, with visibility dropping rapidly. Every step required focus and careful judgment. Despite the adversity, I pushed through, navigating the fixed lines with precision while contending with icy conditions on the limestone rocks.”


She further described how getting to the base camp was a journey all its own, as this isolated area is reachable only by helicopter or by enduring several days of tough trekking across difficult landscapes.
