RATAN NAVAL TATA


 

Ratan Naval Tata (born 28 December 1937) is an Indian industrialist, philanthropist and former chairman of Tata Sons. He was also the chairman of the Tata group from 1990 to 2012 and then interim chairman from October 2016 to February 2017 and continues to head its charitable trusts. He is the recipient of two of India's highest civilian awards, the Padma Vibhushan (2008) and the Padma Bhushan (2000). Born in 1937, he is a descendant of the Tata family, and the son of Naval Tata, who was later adopted by Ratanji Tata, the son of Jamsetji Tata, the founder of the Tata group.He studied architecture and Harvard Business at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, where he earned a B.S. (1962) did in architecture before returning to work in India. He gained experience in several businesses of the Tata Group and was named Director-in-Charge (1971) of one of them, the National Radio and Electronics Company. He joined their company in 1961, when he worked on the shop floor of Tata Steel, and was the clear successor to JRD Tata after retirement. In 1991 he took Tata Tea to acquire Tetley, Tata Motors to acquire Jaguar Land Rover, and Tata Steel to acquire Corus, in an effort to transform Tata from a largely India-focused conglomerate into a global business . After assuming leadership of the group, Tata aggressively sought to expand it, and increasingly focused on globalizing its businesses. In 2000, the group acquired London-based Tetley T for $431.3 million, and in 2004 it bought the truck-manufacturing operations of Daewoo Motors of South Korea for $102 million. In 2007, Tata Steel completed the largest corporate takeover by an Indian company when it acquired the giant Anglo-Dutch steel maker Corus Group for $11.3 billion. In 2008, Tata oversaw the purchase of the elite British car brands Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford Motor Company by Tata Motors. The $2.3 billion deal is the biggest ever acquisition by an Indian automotive firm. The following year the company launched the Tata Nano, a small rear-engined, pod-shaped vehicle with a starting price of around 100,000 Indian Rupees, or about $2,000. Although only a little over 10 feet (3 m) long and about 5 feet (1.5 m) wide, the highly popular "People's Car" can accommodate five adults and is, in Tata's words, "safe, economical, all-in-India and abroad." " Transport season for millions of middle- and low-income consumers. In December 2012, Tata retired as the chairman of the Tata Group. He briefly served as interim president after the removal of his successor, Cyrus Mistry, in October 2016. Tata returned to retirement in January 2017 when Natarajan Chandrasekaran was appointed Chairman of the Tata Group.

Early life

Ratan Tata was born on 28 December 1937 in Bombay, now Mumbai, and is the son of Naval Tata (born in Surat). His biological maternal grandmother was the sister of Hirabai Tata, wife of group founder Jamsetji Tata. His biological grandfather, Hormusji Tata, was from the wider Tata family; Ratan was therefore a Tata by birth. Parents Naval and Sonu separated in 1948 when Ratan was 10 years old, and he was later raised by Sir Ratanji Tata, the widow of his grandmother, Nawazbai Tata, who formally named him J.N. Petit was adopted through a Parsi orphanage. She has a half-brother, Noel Tata (from Navy Tata's second marriage to Simone Tata), with whom she was raised. His first language is Gujarati. He attended Campion School, Mumbai until 8th grade, followed by Cathedral and John Connon School, Mumbai and Bishop Cotton School in Shimla, and in 1955, graduated from Riverdale Country School in New York City. In 1959, he received a degree in architecture from Cornell University, and in 1975, attended Harvard Business School's seven-week advanced management program—an institution he has since thriving. Promoted to management during the 1970s, Ratan achieved initial success by turning around the group company National Radio and Electronics (NELCO), only to see it collapse during an economic downturn. In 1991, JRD Tata stepped down as chairman of Tata Sons, naming him his successor. When he settled into the new role, he faced stiff resistance from the heads of several companies, some of whom had spent decades in their respective companies and became very powerful and influential because of the freedom to operate under JRD Tata. went. He began to change them by setting a retirement age, and then reporting operations at the group office to individual companies, each contributing some of their profits to building and using the Tata Group's brand. Innovation was given priority and young talent was inducted and given responsibilities. Under his leadership, the overlapping operations in the group companies were streamlined into a coordinated whole, with the salt-to-software conglomerate abandoning unrelated businesses to take on globalization. During the 21 years he led the Tata Group, revenues grew more than 40 times, and profits grew more than 50 times. While the group's sales as a whole came from goods after he took over, the majority of sales came from brands when he left. He boldly got Tata Tea to acquire Tetley, Tata Motors to acquire Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Steel to acquire Corus. It transformed Tata from a largely India-focused conglomerate into a global business, with over 65% of revenues coming from operations and sales in over 100 countries. He conceptualized the Tata Nano car. In 2015, he explained in an interview for Harvard Business School's Emerging Markets Project, the development of the Tata Nano was significant as it helped put cars at a price-point within the reach of the average Indian consumer. Ratan Tata resigned from his executive powers at the Tata Group on 28 December 2012 at the age of 75 and the Board of Directors and Legal Division withdrew from appointing Cyrus Mistry as the successor of Pallonji Mistry's 44-year-old son of Shapoorji Pallonji Group. refused. The largest individual shareholder of the group and related by marriage. On October 2016, Cyrus Mistry was removed from the post of chairman of Tata Sons and Ratan Tata was made interim chairman. The decision went through intense media scrutiny that scrutinized the root causes of the abrupt removal of several people and the resulting crisis. A selection committee was formed to find the successor. The selection committee included Mr Tata, TVS Group chief Venu Srinivasan, Bain Capital's Amit Chandra, former diplomat Ronen Sen and Lord Kumar Bhattacharya. All of them, except Mr. Bhattacharya, were on the board of Tata Sons. On 12 January 2017, Natarajan Chandrasekaran was named as the chairman of Tata Sons, a role he assumed in February 2017. Tata invested personal savings in Snapdeal, one of India's leading e-commerce websites. and in January 2016, Teabox, an online premium Indian tea seller, and CashKaro.com, a discount coupon and cash-back website. He has made small investments in both early and late-stage companies in India, such as Rs 0.95 crore in Ola Cabs. In April 2015, it was reported that Tata had acquired a stake in Chinese smartphone startup Xiaomi. In 2016, he invested in Nestway, an online portal to find fully furnished flats for bachelors, which later acquired Zenify to launch the family rental segment and online pet care portal, Dogspot.  Tata Motors rolled out the first batch of Tigor Electric Vehicles from its Sanand Plant in Gujarat, regarding which Ratan Tata said, "Tigor indicates a willingness to fast-forward India's electric dream. The government has set an ambitious target to have only electric cars by 2030." 

Tata family

Tata family, family of Indian industrialists and philanthropists who founded ironworks and steelworks, cotton mills, and hydroelectric power plants that proved crucial to India’s industrial development.The Tata were a Parsi priestly family who originally came from the former Baroda state (now Gujarat). The founder of the family’s fortunes was Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata (born March 3, 1839, Navsari [India]—died May 19, 1904, Bad Nauheim, Germany). After an education at Elphinstone College in Bombay (Mumbai), he joined his father’s export trading firm in 1858 and helped establish branches of the company in Japan, China, Europe, and the United States. In 1872 he concentrated on cotton manufacturing, founding mills at Nagpur in 1877 and, later, at Bombay and Coorla. His enterprises were noted for efficiency, for improved labour-protection policies, and for the introduction of finer grades of fibre. He also introduced the production of raw silk to India and planned for the Bombay-area hydroelectric power plants that became the Tata Power companies after his death.Tata began organizing India’s first large-scale ironworks in 1901, and these were incorporated in 1907 as Tata Iron and Steel Company. Under the direction of his sons, Sir Dorabji Jamsetji Tata (1859–1932) and Sir Ratanji Tata (1871–1932), the Tata Iron and Steel Company became the largest privately owned steelmaker in India and the nucleus of a group of companies producing not only textiles, steel, and hydroelectric power but also chemicals, agricultural equipment, trucks, locomotives, and cement. The family’s industrial facilities were concentrated in the city of Jamshedpur, in Bihar state.In 1898 Tata donated land for a research institute that was later founded by his sons as the Indian Institute of Science, at Bangalore (Bengaluru). The Tata family went on to become perhaps the most important private funder of technical education and scientific research in India.Upon the death of Sir Dorabji in 1932, Sir Naoroji Saklatvala, one of the founder’s nephews, became chairman of the Tata Group. On his death in 1938, Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata (1904–93), whose father, R.D. Tata, had been a cousin and partner of the founder, became chairman. J.R.D. Tata founded Tata Airlines (1932), which was nationalized in 1953 and split up to form India’s chief domestic and international air carriers: Indian Airlines Corporation and Air-India, respectively. By the late 1950s the Tata Group controlled the largest single aggregation of Indian industry. J.R.D. Tata was succeeded as chairman by his nephew, Ratan Tata, in 1991. Ratan aggressively sought to expand the Tata Group, acquiring such companies as the London-based Tetley Tea (2000) and the Anglo-Dutch steel manufacturer Corus Group (2007). In 2008 he oversaw Tata Motors’ purchase of the elite British car brands Jaguar and Land Rover from the Ford Motor Company. In 2012 Ratan retired as chairman and was succeeded by Cyrus Mistry. In October 2016 Mistry was abruptly dismissed, and Ratan took over as interim chairman; media reports indicated that conflicts over business strategy were the reason for Mistry’s ouster. In January 2017 Natarajan Chandrasekaran was appointed as the new chairman of the Tata Group.

Tata Sons vs. Cyrus Mistry

In one of the most dramatic developments in the recent past, the board of directors of Tata Group on 24 October 2016 voted for the removal of its chairman Cyrus Mistry with immediate effect and made Ratan Tata the interim chairman, and in February 2017, Mistry was removed as a director for Tata Sons. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) had decided in December 2019 that the removal of Cyrus Mistry as the Chairman of Tata Sons was illegal and that he should be reinstated. India's Supreme Court heard an appeal by the $111-billion conglomerate to quash the NCLAT order that directed the Tata group to rehire the man it fired as chairman. Ratan Tata is personally leading the charge in the case, and filed a separate petition challenging the ruling in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has stayed the NCLAT order that allowed Cyrus Mistry to be reinstated as Tata Sons chairman in January 2020.However the Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of Cyrus Mistry.

Philanthropy

Tata is a supporter of education, medicine and rural development, and considered a leading philanthropist in India.

The scholarship will be awarded annually; recipients will receive the scholarship for the duration of their undergraduate study at Cornell.In 2010, Tata Group companies and Tata charities donated $50 million for the construction of an executive center at Harvard Business School (HBS). The executive center has been named Tata Hall, after Ratan Tata (AMP '75), chairman emeritus of Tata Sons. The total construction costs have been estimated at $100 million. Tata Hall is located in the northeast corner of the HBS campus, and is devoted to the Harvard Business School's mid-career Executive Education program. It is seven stories tall, and about 155,000 gross square feet. It houses approximately 180 bedrooms, in addition to academic and multi-purpose spaces.Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has given the largest ever donation by a company to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) for a facility to research in cognitive systems and autonomous vehicles.

In 2016, he co-founded Neuralink, a neurotechnology company focused on developing brain-computer interfaces, and founded tunnel construction company The Boring Company. Musk proposes Hyperloop, a high-speed vector transportation system.

Early life Childhood and family

Elon Reeve Musk was born on 28 June 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa. His mother is Mai Musk (née Haldeman), a model and dietitian, who was born in Saskatchewan, Canada, but raised in South Africa. His father is Errol Musk, a South African electromechanical engineer, pilot, navigator, consultant and property developer who was once half-owner of a Zambian emerald mine near Lake Tanganyika. Musk has a younger brother, Kimble (born 1972) and a younger sister, Tosca (born 1974). His maternal grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, was an American-Canadian, and Musk has British and Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry. The family was very wealthy in Elon's youth; Errol Musk once said, "We had so much money that sometimes we couldn't even lock our vaults". After his parents divorced in 1980, Musk lived mostly with his father in Pretoria and elsewhere. But they lived together, a choice they made two years after the divorce and later regretted. Musk is estranged from his father, whom he calls "a terrible man... almost every evil he has thought of, he has done." He has a half-sister and a half-brother. Around the age of 10, Musk developed an interest in computing and video games and acquired the Commodore VIC-20. He learned computer programming using manuals, and at age 12, he coded a BASIC-based video game called Blaster and sold it to PC & Office Technology magazine for about $500. An awkward and introverted child, Musk was bullied as a child and was once hospitalized after a group of boys threw him down the stairs. He attended Watercloof House Preparatory School and Bryanston High School before graduating from Pretoria Boys High School.

Education

Knowing that entering the United States from Canada would be easy, Musk applied for a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother. While awaiting documentation, he attended the University of Pretoria for five months; This allowed Musk to avoid compulsory service in the South African military. Musk arrived in Canada in June 1989, and lived with a second cousin in Saskatchewan for a year, working odd jobs at a farm and lumber-mill. In 1990, Musk entered Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Two years later, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania; He graduated in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and a Arts Degree in Physics.In 1994, Musk did two internships in Silicon Valley during the summer: at the energy storage startup Pinnacle Research Institute, which researched electrolytic ultracapacitors for energy storage, and at the Palo Alto-based startup Rocket Science Games. In 1995, Musk was accepted to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in materials science at Stanford University in California. Musk attempted to get a job at Netscape but his inquiries were not answered. He left Stanford after two days, deciding instead to join the Internet boom and launch an Internet startup. 

PayPal and SpaceX

Musk attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and in 1992 he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, where he received bachelor’s degrees in physics and economics in 1997. He enrolled in graduate school in physics at Stanford University in California, but he left after only two days because he felt that the Internet had much more potential to change society than work in physics. In 1995 he founded Zip2, a company that provided maps and business directories to online newspapers. In 1999 Zip2 was bought by the computer manufacturer Compaq for $307 million, and Musk then founded an online financial services company, X.com, which later became PayPal, which specialized in transferring money online. The online auction eBay bought PayPal in 2002 for $1.5 billion.Musk was long convinced that for life to survive, humanity has to become a multiplanet species. However, he was dissatisfied with the great expense of rocket launchers. In 2002 he founded Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) to make more affordable rockets. Its first two rockets were the Falcon 1 (first launched in 2006) and the larger Falcon 9 (first launched in 2010), which were designed to cost much less than competing rockets. A third rocket, the Falcon Heavy (first launched in 2018), was designed to carry 117,000 pounds (53,000 kg) to orbit, nearly twice as much as its largest competitor, the Boeing Company’s Delta IV Heavy, for one-third the cost. SpaceX has announced the successor to the Falcon 9 and the Falcon Heavy: the Super Heavy–Starship system. The Super Heavy first stage would be capable of lifting 100,000 kg (220,000 pounds) to low Earth orbit. The payload would be the Starship, a spacecraft designed for providing fast transportation between cities on Earth and building bases on the Moon and Mars. SpaceX also developed the Dragon spacecraft, which carries supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). Dragon can carry as many as seven astronauts, and it had a crewed flight carrying astronauts Doug Hurley and Robert Behnken to the ISS in 2020. Musk sought to reduce the expense of spaceflight by developing a fully reusable rocket that could lift off and return to the pad it launched from. Beginning in 2012, SpaceX’s Grasshopper rocket made several short flights to test such technology. In addition to being CEO of SpaceX, Musk was also chief designer in building the Falcon rockets, Dragon, and Grasshopper. 

Tesla 

Musk had long been interested in the possibilities of electric cars, and in 2004 he became one of the major funders of Tesla Motors (later renamed Tesla), an electric car company founded by entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. In 2006 Tesla introduced its first car, the Roadster, which could travel 245 miles (394 km) on a single charge. Unlike most previous electric vehicles, which Musk thought were stodgy and uninteresting, it was a sports car that could go from 0 to 60 miles (97 km) per hour in less than four seconds. In 2010 the company’s initial public offering raised about $226 million. Two years later Tesla introduced the Model S sedan, which was acclaimed by automotive critics for its performance and design. The company won further praise for its Model X luxury SUV, which went on the market in 2015. The Model 3, a less-expensive vehicle, went into production in 2017.Musk expressed reservations about Tesla being publicly traded, and in August 2018 he made a series of tweets about taking the company private, noting that he had “secured funding.” The following month the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Musk for securities fraud, alleging that the tweets were “false and misleading.” Shortly thereafter Tesla’s board rejected the SEC’s proposed settlement, reportedly because Musk had threatened to resign. However, the news sent Tesla stock plummeting, and a harsher deal was ultimately accepted. Its terms included Musk stepping down as chairman for three years, though he was allowed to continue as CEO.Dissatisfied with the projected cost ($68 billion) of a high-speed rail system in California, Musk in 2013 proposed an alternate faster system, the Hyperloop, a pneumatic tube in which a pod carrying 28 passengers would travel the 350 miles (560 km) between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 35 minutes at a top speed of 760 miles (1,220 km) per hour, nearly the speed of sound. Musk claimed that the Hyperloop would cost only $6 billion and that, with the pods departing every two minutes on average, the system could accommodate the six million people who travel that route every year. However, he stated that, between running SpaceX and Tesla, he could not devote time to the Hyperloop’s development.

Wealth

Musk made $165 million when PayPal was sold to eBay in 2002. He was first listed on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2012, with a net worth of $2 billion. At the start of 2020, Musk had a net worth of $27 billion. Throughout that year, his net worth increased by $150 billion, largely driven by his ownership of around 20% of Tesla stock. During this, Musk's net worth was often volatile. For example, it dropped $16.3 billion in September, the largest single-day plunge in the history of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. In November of that year, Musk passed Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg to become the third-richest person in the world; a week later he passed Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to become the second-richest.In January 2021, Musk, with a net worth of $185 billion, surpassed Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to become the richest person in the world. Bezos reclaimed the top spot the following month. On September 27, 2021, Forbes announced that Musk had a net worth of over $200 billion, and was the richest person in the world, after Tesla stock surged. In November 2021, Musk became the first person with a net worth over $300 billion. Around three-quarters of Musk's wealth derives from Tesla. Musk does not receive a salary from Tesla; he agreed in 2018 to a compensation plan with the board that ties his personal earnings to Tesla's valuation and revenue. The deal stipulated that Musk only receives the compensation if Tesla reaches certain market values. It was the largest such deal ever done between a CEO and board.In the first award, given in May 2020, he was eligible to purchase 1.69 million TSLA shares (about 1% of the company) at below-market prices, which was worth about $800 million. Musk has repeatedly described himself as "cash poor",and has "professed to have little interest in the material trappings of wealth".In 2012, Musk signed The Giving Pledge and, in May 2020, Musk pledged to "sell almost all physical possessions". In 2021, Musk defended his wealth by saying he is "accumulating resources to help make life multiplanetary extend the light of consciousness to the stars". In the early 2000s, Musk was a private pilot, his favorite aircraft then being the L-39 Albatros, though he decided to stop piloting by 2008. He uses a private jet owned by SpaceX and acquired a second jet in August 2020.[ The jet's heavy use of fossil fuels—it flew over 150,000 miles in 2018—has received criticism.According to ProPublica, Musk paid no federal income taxes in 2018.

Personal life 

Musk met his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, while attending Queen's University, and they married in 2000. Musk contracted malaria in 2000 while on vacation in South Africa, and almost died. In 2002, their first child, son Nevada Alexander Musk, died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at the age of 10 weeks. After his death, the couple decided to use IVF to continue their family. Twins Xavier and Griffin were born in April 2004, followed by triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian in 2006. The couple divorced in 2008 and share custody of their five sons. In 2008, Musk began dating English actress Talulah Riley, and in 2010, the couple married. In 2012, Musk announced a divorce from Riley.In 2013, Musk and Riley remarried. In December 2014, Musk filed for a second divorce from Riley; however, the action was withdrawn.A second divorce was finalized in 2016. Musk then dated Amber Heard for several months in 2017; he had reportedly been pursuing her since 2012. Musk was later accused by Johnny Depp of having an affair with Heard while she was still married to Depp. Musk and Heard both denied the affair. In May 2018, Musk and Canadian musician Grimes revealed that they were dating.

At 40, Harland Sanders was running a popular Kentucky service station that also served food – So popular, that the governor of Kentucky named him the Kentucky Colonel. Eventually, Sanders focused on franchising his fried chicken business nationwide, collecting payment for each chicken sold. The company went on to become the world's largest fast-food chicken chain, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Colonel Harland David Sanders was an American businessman best known for the fast food chicken restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (also known as KFC) and later the company's Was known as the brand ambassador for Prateek. His name and image are still the symbols of the company. Sanders held many jobs in his early life, such as a steam engine stocker, insurance salesman, and filling station operator. He began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in North Corbin, Kentucky, during the Great Depression. During that time, Sanders developed his "secret recipe" and his patented method of cooking chicken in a pressure fryer. Sanders recognized the potential of the restaurant franchising concept, and in 1952 the first KFC franchise was opened in South Salt Lake, Utah. When his original restaurant closed, he devoted himself to franchising his fried chicken nationwide.

The early Life and career 
 
Harland David Sanders was born on September 9, 1890, in a four-room house located 3 miles (5 km) east of Henryville, Indiana. He was the eldest of three children born to Wilbur David and Margaret Ann (née Dunleavy) Sanders. His mother was of Irish and Dutch descent. His father was a gentle and affectionate man who worked on his 80-acre farm until he broke his leg after falling. Then he worked as a butcher in Henryville for two years. Sanders' mother was a devout Christian and strict mother. Sanders' father died in 1895. His mother got a job as a tomato canner, and young Harland was left to care for and cook his siblings. By the age of seven, he was reportedly skilled in bread and vegetables, and was improvising with meat; The children forage for food while their mother was out for work for several days at a time. In 1899, her mother remarried Edward Park, and according to the 1900 census, her mother became a widow. When he was 10 years old, Sanders began working as a farmhand.In 1902, Sanders' mother remarried to William Broaddus, and the family moved to Greenwood, Indiana. Sanders had a turbulent relationship with his stepfather. In 1903, he dropped out of seventh grade (later saying that "algebra gave me away"), and went to live and work on a nearby farm. At the age of 13, he left home and took up painting horse carts in Indianapolis. When he was 14, he moved to southern Indiana to work as a farmhand. Lying about his age, he joined the US Army in 1906 and was stationed in Cuba. Harland's childhood was similar to that of Dave Thomas, the founder of one of his early franchises, Wendy's. Harland grew up poor and needed to become self-sufficient at a young age. He served in many positions. These included painting horse carts, being a streetcar conductor, selling insurance, and working as a railroad fireman. Harland also worked as a blacksmith's assistant, cleaned rakes on trains, operated a ferry boat on the Ohio River, sold automobile tires, and even became a babysitter. .

His legal career came to an end after he assaulted one of his clients.

The Kentucky Fried Franchise Begins
 

In 1952, Sanders first franchised his secret recipe, "Kentucky Fried Chicken," to Pete Hermann of South Salt Lake, Utah, the operator of one of the largest restaurants in that city. In the first year of product sales, restaurant sales more than tripled, with Sanders believing that his North Corbyn restaurant would be an indefinite success, but with fewer new Interstate 75 customers at age 65. After sold it. Left with only $105 a month from his savings and Social Security, and traveled to the US in search of suitable restaurants.

Sanders received a patent in 1962 to protect his method of pressure-frying chicken, and trademarked the phrase "It's finger lickin' good" in 1963. The company's rapid expansion to more than 600 locations turned out to be overwhelming for the aging Sanders. In 1964, then at the age of 73, he sold the Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation for $2 million (today $16.7 million), with Sanders becoming a salaried brand ambassador. In 1965, Sanders went on to oversee his Canadian franchise. Moved to Mississauga, Ontario and continued to collect franchise and appearance fees in both Canada and the US.

Success at the Do Drop Inn

Pete Harman was a friend of Sanders and operated one of the largest restaurants in Salt Lake City. Persuading Harman to begin selling his recipe chicken in his "Do Drop Inn" restaurant was a success, increasing sales by 75%. It was Don Anderson, a painter hired by Harman, who came up with the name "Kentucky Fried Chicken" and it was Harman that created the original bucket that still exists today. Soon several more restaurant owners signed franchise agreements with Sanders for the princely franchise fee of four cents per chicken.It was during this early franchise period that the Colonel met Dave Thomas. Dave at the time was working as a cook for the Clauss family operators of the Hobby House restaurants. It was Dave who developed the classic wobbly red-and-white-striped chicken bucket that became the classic sign outside of each Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. Thomas also streamlined the method of food-to-customer delivery by creating the “snake” line—still used today in many restaurants.Against the Colonel’s advice, Dave took over eight failing restaurants and was so successful in turning them around that he was able to sell the restaurants and begin his own chain of hamburger restaurants, named after his daughter Melinda Lou “Wendy” Thomas. 
 
Original Recipe's Ultimate Chicken

Still as its brand ambassador, he and his wife, Claudia, opened "The Colonel's Ladies Dinner House" restaurant in 1968 in Shelbyville, Kentucky. Heblin tried to stop the couple from opening the restaurant, and in settling the dispute, Sanders received $1 million in exchange for his promise to stop criticizing the food of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Sanders was allowed to open his own restaurant - which was renamed "Claudia Sanders Dinner House". This restaurant was the only non-Kentucky fried chicken restaurant to offer an actual version of Sander's original recipe. The restaurant was sold in the 1970s
Kentucky Fried Chicken remains a well-known franchise brand, currently ranked #41 on Entrepreneur's "Franchise 500" list, with 4,074 locations worldwide as of 2018.

At Ardsley High School, Zuckerberg excelled in classes. After two years, he transferred to the private school Phillips Exeter Academy, where he won prizes in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and classical studies. In his youth, he also attended the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth summer camp. On his college application, Zuckerberg stated that he could read and write French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek. He was captain of the fencing team. 

Mark Zuckerberg’s Education

To keep up with Zuckerberg's burgeoning interest in computers, his parents hired private computer tutor David Newman to come to the house once a week and work with Zuckerberg. Newman later told reporters that it was hard to stay ahead of the prodigy, who began taking graduate courses at nearby Mercy College around this same time. Zuckerberg later studied at Phillips Exeter Academy, an exclusive preparatory school in New Hampshire. There he showed talent in fencing, becoming the captain of the school's team. He also excelled in literature, earning a diploma in classics. Yet Zuckerberg remained fascinated by computers and continued to work on developing new programs. While still in high school, he created an early version of the music software Pandora, which he called Synapse. Several companies—including AOL and Microsoft—expressed an interest in buying the software, and hiring the teenager before graduation. He declined the offers.
  
Mark Zuckerberg's College Experience

He studied psychology and computer science and was related to Alpha Epsilon Pi and Kirkland House. In his sophomore year, he wrote a program he called CourseMatch, which allowed users to make class selection decisions based on the preferences of other students and help them form study groups. A short time later, he created a separate program he initially called FaceMash, which let students select the best looking person from a choice of photos. First, they created a site and placed two photographs or photographs of two men and two women. Visitors to the site had to choose who was "hot" and a ranking would take place according to the votes. The site went up in a weekend, but the college shut it down after its popularity overwhelmed one of Harvard's network switches and prevented students from accessing the Internet.

Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard in his sophomore year to complete his project. In January 2014, he recalled: I remember really clearly, you know, after eating pizza with my friends a day or two later—I opened the first version of Facebook the moment I thought, "You know. Well, someone needs to make a service like this to the world." But I never thought we'd be the one to help make that happen. And I think a lot of what it comes down to is that we just care more. On May 25, 2017, at Harvard's 366th commencement day, Zuckerberg received an honorary degree from Harvard after delivering his commencement address. 

 Facebook and History of Facebook

On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dorm room. It published its own student directory, "The Photo Address Book", which the students referred to as "The Facebook". Such photo directories were an important part of the student's social experience at many private schools. With them, students were able to list attributes such as their class years, their friends, and their telephone numbers. Zuckerberg's Facebook started out as just a "Harvard thing," until Zuckerberg decided to spread it to other schools, with the help of roommate Dustin Moskovitz. He started with Columbia University, New York University, Stanford, Dartmouth, Cornell, University of Pennsylvania, Brown, and Yale. Zuckerberg, Moskovitz, and a few friends moved to Palo Alto, California, in Silicon Valley, where they rented a small house that served as an office. Over the summer, Zuckerberg met Peter Thiel, who had invested in the company. He got his first office in mid-2004. According to Zuckerberg, the group planned to return to Harvard, but they eventually decided to stay in California. He had already turned down offers from major corporations to buy the company. In a 2007 interview, Zuckerberg explained his reasoning: "It's not because of the amount of money. For me and my colleagues, the most important thing is that we create an open information flow for the people. Having owned media corporations just isn't an attractive idea to me." That same year, speaking at Y Combinator's startup school course at Stanford University, Zuckerberg made a controversial claim that "young people are just smart" and that other entrepreneurs should be biased towards hiring young people. He restated these goals to Wired magazine in 2010: "The thing I really care about is the mission, to make the world open." Earlier, in April 2009, Zuckerberg sought advice from former Netscape CFO Peter Curry on financial strategies for Facebook. On July 21, 2010, Zuckerberg reported that the company had reached out. 500 million-user mark. Asked if Facebook can generate more revenue from advertising as a result of its phenomenal growth, he explained: I think we can... if you look at how much of our page is taken up with ads Compared to the average search query. The average for us is a little less than 10 percent of the page and the average for search is about 20 percent with ads taken... that's the easiest thing we can do. But we are not like that. We make enough money. Well, I mean, we're keeping things going; We are growing at the rate we want. Zuckerberg said that "it's okay to break things" "to make them better". Facebook set up "hackathons" every six to eight weeks, where participants would have one night to envision and complete a project. The company provided music, food and. Beer, and several Facebook staff members, including Zuckerberg, attended the hackathon regularly. "The idea is that you can make something really cool in one night," Zuckerberg told Levy. "And it's part of Facebook's personality now... it's definitely very important to my personality." Zuckerberg was named #1 on its 2010 list of the Top 100 "Most Influential People of the Information Age" by Vanity Fair magazine. Zuckerberg was ranked 23rd on the Vanity Fair 100 list in 2009. In 2010, Zuckerberg was chosen as number 16 in the New Statesman's annual poll of the 50 most influential figures in the world.

Russian programmers and consider opening a research center in Moscow instead. In 2012, Facebook in Russia had about 9 million users, while the domestic clone VK had about 34 million. Rebecca Van Dyke, Facebook's head of consumer marketing, claimed that 85 million US Facebook users were exposed on the first day of the Home promotional campaign. April 6, 2013. On August 19, 2013, The Washington Post reported that Zuckerberg's Facebook profile had been.

 Harvard Connection’ and Legal Hurdles

"If you're going to go on to build a service that is influential and that a lot of people rely on, then you need to be mature, right?" he said in an interview with The New Yorker."I think I've grown and learned a lot."Although an initial settlement of $65 million was reached between the two parties, the legal dispute over the matter continued well into 2011, after Narendra and the Winklevosses claimed they were misled in regards to the value of their stock.

Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's film The Social Network was released. The critically acclaimed film received eight Academy Award nominations. Sorkin's screenplay was based on author Ben Mezrich's 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires. Mezrich was heavily criticized for retelling the Zuckerberg story, Zuckerberg strongly objected to the film's story, and later told a reporter in The New Yorker that many details of the film were incorrect. For example, Zuckerberg had been dating his longtime girlfriend since 2003. He also stated that he was not interested in joining any final club. Zuckerberg told a reporter at a startup conference in 2010, "It's interesting what stuff they focused on getting them right; like, every single shirt and fleece I have in that movie is actually a shirt or fleece that I have." This stuff that they got wrong and a bunch of random details that they got right." Yet Zuckerberg and Facebook continued to succeed despite the criticism. Time magazine named him Person of the Year in 2010, and Vanity Fair placed him at the top of their new founding list.
