TATA Nusserwanji Tata was the first businessman in a family of Parsi Zoroastrian priests. He moved to Bombay and started trading. As an ethnic community Although the Parsis of India originally emigrated from Persia, they no longer have social or familial ties to Persians, and do not share language or recent history with them. Over the centuries since the first Zoroastrians arrived in India, the Parsis have integrated themselves into Indian society while simultaneously maintaining their own distinct customs and traditions (and thus ethnic identity). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Godrej family The Godrej family, like the Tatas, is a Parsi Zoroastrian industrial family. are the driving force behind the Godrej Group of companies, founded by Ardeshir Godrej and his brother Pirojsha Godrej |
