“Dream-dream and dream, because dream
gives vision, vision gives thoughts and finally
thoughts lead to the action".
By India's former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
Dreams also give you an idea to change yours
and other life.
Mr. Ratan Tata
I observed families
riding on two-wheeler
the father driving the
scooter, his young kid
standing in front of
him, his wife seated
behind him holding a
little baby. It led me to
wonder for such a car
which is safe &
affordable to any
middle class family.

The project has literally become India's claim-for-fame in the
international-media due to
Tata Motors' innovation in developing the car, as well as keeping
it low in price.
The car itself is expected to boost the Indian Economy
create entrepreneurial-opportunities across India,
expand the Indian car market by 65%.
Mr.Ratan Tata, Chairman of the Tata Group and Tata Motors,
who has described it as an eco-friendly "people's car".

Nano has been greatly appreciated by many sources and the
media
for its low-cost and
eco-friendly initiatives which include using compressed-air as fuel
and an electric-version.
Tata Group is expected to mass-manufacture the Nano in very
large quantities,
particularly the electric-version, and,
besides selling them in India, to also export them world-wide.

•The People’s Car,
designed with a family
in mind, has a roomy
passenger compartment
with generous leg space
and head room.
• It can comfortably
seat four persons.
•Four doors with high

The Tata Nano uses plastics and adhesives rather than welding.
Introducing the car with an artificially low price through govt-
subsidies and tax-breaks,
Using vertical-integration, or partially using inexpensive polymers
or biodegradable plastics instead of a full metal-body.
It has no AC, no power steering, no power windows, no power bells
and whistles.

The Nano's boot does not open, instead the rear seats can be
folded down to access the boot space.
It has a single windscreen wiper instead of the usual pair.
Its door opening lever was simplified.
It has 3 nuts on the wheels instead of the statutory 4 nuts.
It only has 1 side view mirror

The low-cost car is clearly intended for the masses.
For the family of four that would otherwise ride on a scooter,
Its also attracts the small cars buyers like Maruti 800, bike
riders etc.

For marketing strategy Tata had use conventional media in an
unconventional manner.
Nano isn’t big on advertising. There are no TV campaign,
Only innovative use of print, radio and other media, particularly the web.
The Tata team was working on
› Nano news in papers,
› Nano breaks on radio,
› Nano appearing in the form of messages or ticker news on TV,
› Online Nano games,
› Nano chat rooms on the Net,
› Nano pop-ups on major websites and
