Shantanu Naidu, a long-time associate of Ratan Tata, on Thursday bid adieu to the industrialist, comparing his boss to a “lighthouse”.
“The hole that this friendship has now left with me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to fill,” Naidu, a general manager in the Office of RNT, wrote on a professional networking site in the early hours.

Later in the morning, everybody saw Naidu riding out of Tata’s house on a Yezdi motorcycle, leading the truck carrying his boss’ mortal remains. “Grief is the price to pay for love. Goodbye, my dear lighthouse,” said the short post, accompanied by a picture of the two in what seems like a chartered aircraft. It was the mutual love and concern for dogs which had formed a bond between Tata and Naidu, a Pune-based youngster who had started working for a Tata group company.
