A promise is a promise! TATA’s focus on bringing the world’s cheapest car was right on target. Though the engine is beneath the rear seat, there’s no looking back. As a 71 year old bachelor, the soft spoken TATA said, “You really don’t want to wait too long for the car, because it is like waiting for a pretty woman, you wait for too long and she becomes fat and old,” as if he had experienced agony on love. (Maybe that’s why he isn’t married!!!).
Realizing a dream is what everybody talks about in every other meeting. But realizing a dream amidst immense political pressure is a “daytime-nightmare!!!” How would one ever come through all this to deliver something that India is now proud of? It’s not with the system that works around him but it’s in the person himself. Educated at Cornell University and at the Harvard Business School, TATA was sent to TATA steel at Jamshedpur, where he worked on the floor along with other employees, shoveling limestone and handling the blast furnaces. Many may see the technology involved, but the thought matters. “Thought is the root for technology.” The very idea conceptualized only after he wanted to bring a safe and cheap form of transport.
Now comes the big question. Is the “Aam Admi” going to be a “Calm Admi”?
1) Booking starts from April 4th and closes April 23rd
2) Initial Down payment is Rs. 2,999 ONLY!!
3) Only 1,00,000 cars rolling initially.
It’s time to rush… Guess what? The car delivery will be on a computerized lottery system and others might have to wait for atleast 12-18 months. WELCOME TO INDIA…!
With decent specifications and safety clearance, NANO is going to be a “car” and not a “four wheel auto-rickshaw”. I better get myself this huge, old model, sturdy truck. With more and more cars “hitting” the Indian roads, “hitting” each others would be inevitable!
Let the “Nano-Physics” (Vehicle) not destroy the “Nano-Chemisty” (polluting the atmosphere).
