NEW DELHI: Sculptor Naresh Kumawat, who crafted the 75-ft long Samudra Manthan mural inside new Parliament building, is back with his latest creation — a 4-foot statue of magnate Ratan Tata.
The business tycoon who passed away last month has had a million fans worldwide for leaving an inspiring journey of brands — Taj Hotels, Tata Motors, Tata Steel, Tata Tea — among a host of companies he built and commanded over a career of 70 years.
Kumawat’s statue for Tata has been crafted meticulously in clay and will soon be cast in bronze.
“From creating a small 4-foot statue to crafting the colossal 370-foot Lord Shiva, known as the Statue of Belief, my own journey has been about dreaming big and working hard to realize those dreams. I told myself I have to do this for Tata and India,” Kumawat says, while speaking to The New Indian.
Deeply moved by the legendary business tycoon’s unwavering commitment to hard work, punctuality, and humility, Kumawat says he completed this intricate sculpture in just 17 days.
“The legendary Tata has been an inspiration to countless individuals including myself. His dedication is unparalleled,” Kumawat quips.

This statue stands in his studio in Gurgaon. Kumawat’s own life is a testament to perseverance and passion.
Once a young man dreaming of owning a cell phone to stay connected with his family 250 kilometers away from Delhi, he now creates works of art that resonate deeply with cultural and spiritual significance.
His sculptures, especially those of Hindu gods and goddesses, attract lakhs of devotees both in India and abroad, strengthening their faith and cultural ties.
Tata’s philosophy—”I don’t believe in taking the right decisions, I take decisions and then make them right”—has been a guiding light for Kumawat, he says.
“This sculpture is not about where it will eventually be placed but about the heartfelt tribute it represents. My dedication to Ratan Tata is pure and pious and a humble offering to a visionary who continues to inspire millions,” Kumawat adds.

This sculpture of Tata is more than just a piece of art, it’s a reflection of Kumawat’s gratitude and admiration for a man whose life teaches us to aim high and persevere.
