ASIA-PACIFIC When the Nano, the world’s cheapest car, is launched at the venerable Parsi Gymkhana Grounds in Mumbai, by Ratan Tata on March 23, it will not just be the launch of a car. Instead it will be the launch of a million possibilities.
Indian possibilities: Indian engineering; Indian ingenuity and finally, a vehicle for Indian aspirations. And in these troubled times, India needs a symbol of hope; a symbol of the possible and one which can show the world that ‘Made in India’ is no longer about off-shoring or about inexpensive serviWces. The Nano’s launch also tells the world that India can make a dream – a car for the people - happen.
