Some people are born visionaries and for one person it seems to run in the family. JRD Tata was one of those people who was one of those people who helped shaped modern India. Hotelier, Aviator and Industrialist. The nature of his contribution to the nation could never be overlooked.
But his biggest contribution to the nation was not one directly contributed too. It was from his nephew's ... Ratan Tata. He has created the most respect for an Indian Conglomerate in the global arena. Tata Sons controls 98 companies Among them, Tetley, Daewoo CV, Corus, and now most probably Jaguar and Land Rover. But still his biggest contribution to India has been his dream to become an indigenous automobile manufacturer . His first project was codenamed MiNT, later called Indica which become one of the most successful cars on the Indian roads the car spawned two other siblings the Indigo, and the Marina.
He created the entire Project, in about 144 corers when Hyundai spent 1 billion dollars on refurbishing the Accent. although the project had teething trouble and the quality of the product was not upto the global standards, Tata committed to making the project a success, making constant improvements and upgrades.
now he has gone on to make another great contribution, not just for India, but for the world by creating the 1 lakh car ($ 2500). The car was created by throwing existing automobile manufacturing standards into the trash and creating new production methods, manufacturing newer parts using cheaper techniques. If the car succeeds it will revolutionise the established manufacturing methods.
So here's to Mr. Tata Na his Vision and to more of his kind

No two opinion about the fact that Nano will revolutionise the car market and the out look on low cost car manufacturing. The nano have very low emission norms also - so it is actually what the green brigade shoudl embrace - a smallc ar which occupies less space, have very small carbon foot print, transports 4-5ppl in moderate comfort an saftey - power to urban masses. Herez one from a humble me to you, Mr.Tata.
