Jamsetji Tata, who founded these mills, has been called the father of Indian industry. He went on to achieve many great things for India, including the establishment of Tata Steel at Jamshedpur, the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, the Tata hydroelectric project in the Western Ghats and the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. But it can be safely said that he began his life’s work at Empress Mills, Nagpur.
