Ratan Tata appointed board member of China-backed Boao Forum
Ratan Tata, the doyen of Indian industry, was inducted as a member of the Board of Boao Forum for Asia (BFA), a rare distinction for an Indian in the Chinese government-backed influential body. "This is the first time a senior Indian business leader was accorded the distinction," K Nagraj Naidu, India's Consul General in Guangzhou, who was attending the BFA being held at Boao -- a picturesque coastal town in south China's Hainan province -- said. It is also a recognition for Tatas as a global conglomerate, he said.
