Many blogs must have been written on this topic, and most would be full of trivialities. Ok, without enshrining my blog, I want to comment on what I think of Nano, as if it were a living creature. Well, why not, it took Ratan Tata, code name and called affectionately RNT by his colleagues, five painful and arduous years to conceive the baby. (Elephants have the longest gestation period of 18 months). It was a dream, envisaged(and sometimes even as a spectre) in 2002, which RNT claims, came upon him when he saw a family of four on a scooter, soaked in a deluge. I hold reservations on this view. I feel it just might be a stunt to reach masses, a story conceived to make the Nano a 'peoples' car'. Whatever the inspiration, it was thought impossible at that time. It was mocked by Suzuki MD, saying that it was unimaginable to build a Rs 1 lack car, it could be possible, however, if it has only three wheels, one seat and a stepny. But RNT, with his dedicated team of Engineers had some idea when they took over the challenge to rewrite history of transportation.
They spent many sleepless nights, apart from the one just before the launch of Nano, applying their innovative vision aka innovision. The tension of thought, complexity of engineering was taking its toll on them. They were being tested on all fronts, technical, managerial, financial etc. And RNT was leading them on all fronts, taking blows and replying accordingly. Few would be knowing that RNT is an aggressive and shot tempered businessman in his own way. He openly condemned Trinamool's stance on Singur, and he challenged them to stop him. It is said that the agitation in Singur is a planned effort by Tata's business rivals. I don't think they will reach far, RNT will see to it before he hangs his boots that they get a befitting treatment, as RNT says, everything happens at its suitable time. Returning back to Nano, I think it is a wonder car. I won't be surprised if Nano repeats history like Bajaj scooters, which were priced possessions, and had a waiting list of an year. Nano has some drawbacks though. It doesn't have a power steering, so ladies will find it difficult to manoeuvre. Leg space is less. It would be rather cruel to expect everything in 100k, but human wants are unlimited. Nano will surely aflutter the car industry. All major automobes have begun research on small, inexpensive cars. They will be the future, quoted Renault chief.
It remains to be seen, what this car does to market, once launched. Kudos RNT!!!
