In an Instagram post, Ratan Tata remembered his first visit to the city named after one of his ancestors and the founder of the Tata Group - Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata.⁠

Mr. Tata, Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, also shared two black and white throwback pictures in his post recalling his first visit to Jamshedpur.⁠
⁠
One of India's first planned cities, Jamshedpur in Jharkhand began as a village known as Sakchi. It was selected by Jamsetji Tata as the location of his steel plant - and in 1919 Lord Chelmsford renamed it Jamshedpur in his honour.⁠
⁠
"When the earliest settlers arrived in what was then Sakchi in 1908, they were lured by the idea of making a home in a city yet to be created. The idea of present-day Jamshedpur started of course with the setting up of the Tata Steel Plant," writes the Tata Group on its website.⁠
⁠
"Moneylenders, artisans, young men, and women looking to start a new life moved here, invited by the company to be a part of this dream that Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata had seen and his successors Sir Dorabji, Sir Ratan, and RD Tata would turn into a reality."⁠
⁠
In his post, Ratan Tata remembered his first visit to Jamshedpur when he was on holiday during college - much before he started working at Tata Steel.⁠
⁠
"I remember the first time I ever visited Jamshedpur when I was on holiday from college. Mr. R. G. Da Costa and Mr. J. D. Chokshi invited me to visit the Telco plant and have a walk around the plant," wrote Mr. Tata, 82.⁠
⁠
Calling it his "first interaction with the legacy city", he added that the visit took place before he began working on the Tata Steel floor.⁠
