Jamsetji Tata is an Information Era Great Merchant in Civilization VI.
Unique ability[]
Campus districts provide +10 Tourism.
Strategy[]
Even for players who aim for a Cultural Victory, Jamsetji Tata is a very lackluster Great Person because he arrives too late to have much of an influence compared to Tourism sources like National Parks and Rock Bands. Tata doesn't really provide much for players except +1 Era Score in the expansions.
Civilopedia entry[]
In 1857 India revolted against British oppression. The rebellion would fail, but amid the turmoil a young Jamsedji Nusserwanji Tata would begin his journey to heal his homeland and transform it into an industrialized nation. He understood that freedom meant little without financial stability. The company he would found grew to become a global conglomerate of nearly 100 companies, providing its workers with benefits such as medical care, education for children and its workers, pension and maternity leave.
Colonial rulers would attempt to subvert Tata’s ambition, but would not succeed. This world traveler understood the profit to be gained in the textile industry and opened a cotton mill in Bombay. Today, the Tata Group operates in the chemical, communications, consumer goods, energy, engineering, materials, and services industries.
