The subject has had representative offices in Dongguan City and Shanghai of China, as well as in Vietnam.

Tata International, renamed from Tata Exports Ltd. on 3rd March, 1998, is a well-established, reputed and significant company in India.  It is also a remarkable member of the Tata Group.

Tata Group operates in seven business sectors: Communications & Information Technology, Engineering, Materials, Services, Energy, Consumer Products and Chemicals.  They are, by and large, based in India and have significant international operations.

The total revenue of Tata Group, taken together, was US$83.3 billion (around Rs 3,796.75 billion) in 2010-11, with 58% of this coming from business outside India.  Tata Group employs over 425,000 people worldwide.  The Tata name has been respected in India for 140 years for its adherence to strong values and business ethics.

Every Tata company or enterprise operates independently.  Each of these companies has its own board of directors and shareholders, to whom it is answerable.  There are 31 publicly listed Tata enterprises and they have a combined market capitalisation of some US$92.46 billion (as at 9th February, 2012), and a shareholder base of 3.6 million.

The major activities of Tata Group are Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Tata Power, Tata Chemicals, Tata Global Beverages, Tata Teleservices, Titan, Tata Communications and Indian Hotels.

Tata Steel is among the top ten steelmakers, and Tata Motors is among the top five commercial vehicle manufacturers, in the world. TCS is a leading global software company, with delivery centres in the United States, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Brazil, Uruguay and China, besides India.  Tata Global Beverages is the second-largest player in tea in the world.  Tata Chemicals is the world’s second-largest manufacturer of soda ash and Tata Communications is one of the world’s largest wholesale voice carriers.

In tandem with the increasing international footprint of Tata Group, the “Tata” brand is also gaining international recognition.  Brand Finance, a UK-based consultancy firm, valued the “Tata” brand at US$15.75 billion in 2011 and ranked it 41st among the world’s 100 most valuable brands.  BusinessWeek magazine ranked Tata 17th among the “50 Most Innovative Companies” list and the Reputation Institute, the United States, in 2009 rated it 11th on its list of the world’s most reputable companies.

Going forward, Tata is focusing on new technologies and innovation to drive its business in India and internationally.  The Nano car is one example, as is the Eka supercomputer (developed by another Tata company), which in 2008 was ranked the world’s fourth fastest.  Anchored in India and wedded to traditional values and strong ethics, Tata Group are building multinational businesses that will achieve growth through excellence and innovation, while balancing the interests of shareholders, employees and civil society.

Besides the subject in Hong Kong, Tata’s other wholly-owned subsidiaries are in South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana, and the United Arab Emirates.  Offices have been set up in Thailand, Bangladesh, Oman, Cyprus, Russia, the United Kingdom and China.

As one of India’s leading global trading companies, Tata is recognized by the Government of India as a “Golden Super Star Trading House”.  In total, Tata International exports about 80% of its commodities to foreign countries every year.

In Hong Kong, the subject’s business is chiefly handled by Mr. Ashwani Kumar Goel who is an Indian.

On the whole, in view of the parentage and background of the subject, consider it good for normal business engagements.
