'Ratan had the quality that JRD and Russi Mody had -- they could walk with kings and never lose the common touch.'
Arun Maira who worked for 25 years with the Tata Group, remembers his early years with Ratan Tata.

Speaking at an event in the national capital where Air India's new brand identity and aircraft livery were unveiled, he said the focus is on upgrading all human resources aspects in the airline.
