Tata started the trend at the turn of the century by buying Tetley, the first leveraged buyout by an Indian conglomerate, for $407 million, emerging as the second largest tea company in the world. In 2007, Tata scooped up Corus in the largest overseas M&A by an Indian company at $12.11 billion, just before the global financial crisis. Much of Corus’ UK operations may have shrunk today but India’s most trusted conglomerate still has deep roots in the island nation, having acquired Jaguar Land Rover, British Salt and Brunner Mond, making Tata the single largest private sector employer in the country.
