Did you ever just think “What if ideas remained ideas?” We have, and it’s not good. But think about it, we wouldn’t have been able to eat cooked food if the early man didn’t execute his ideas of fire. Speaking of fire..there is no food that tastes good without salt and the first name that pops up into your head when I say salt is Tata salt. The name “Tata group” is a familiar household name in India, and for a good reason. The iconic Tata salt commercial which has the unforgettable line “Tata namak, desh ka namak” tells us precisely what the brand stands for.
