    Tata Steel was founded in 1907 in Jamshedpur, Bihar, India by Dorabji Tata — implementing the vision of his father Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, a Parsi (Zoroastrian) entrepreneur who had died in 1904 before seeing his dream realized. When Jamsetji Tata proposed building an integrated steel plant in colonial India in the 1890s, the British colonial government's chief metallurgist issued the famous assessment that India lacked the coal, iron ore, and limestone required for steelmaking — implying colonial India should import steel from Britain. Jamsetji Tata commissioned geological surveys that discovered massive iron ore deposits in what is now Jharkhand (Singhbhum district) and coal in Bihar, directly contradicting the British assessment. The Jamshedpur plant opened in 1907, three years after his death, and the city built around it was named in his honor. In 2007, Tata Steel acquired Corus Steel (formerly British Steel) for £6.2 billion — at the time the largest M&A transaction by an Indian company. The acquisition that the British colonial government had tried to prevent an Indian from building had, 100 years later, led his descendants' company to purchase the British steel industry itself. The Jamshedpur plant that the British doubted would work now operates alongside Port Talbot, the flagship British steelworks.
